This free tier is genuinely usable and perpetual, but it is still capped by use case and domain ownership, so it lands well below a full paid plan. The closest paid alternatives start around $0.40/month for outbound relay and $2.95/month for hosting, so the free offering is worth about $2/month in practical buyer terms; a credit card is not clearly waived on the page, which keeps friction from being zero.

What's included in the free tier

  • Dynamic DNS is free for life for domains you own, keeping remote access working by pointing a hostname at a changing IP address.
  • Enterprise DNS is free for life, providing free DNS hosting for domains you own with A, MX, CNAME, TXT, and other records.
  • Free second-level domains are available for life, letting you register a free domain through DNSExit.
  • Digital SSL certificates are free for life, providing SSL/TLS certificates at no service charge.
  • Mail Relay Outbound starts with a free plan, but the page does not list a concrete free usage allowance.
  • Business Email starts with a free plan, but the page does not list a concrete free storage or mailbox allowance.
  • URL Forwarding is free for domains registered through DNSExit.
