About
FreeDNS is a hosted DNS management service from 1984 that lets users configure and manage domain zones through a web interface. It supports common record types including A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, MX, SRV, TXT, SSHFP, DNSSEC, TLSA, web request forwarding, and Dynamic DNS.
The service is positioned for users who want to delegate DNS hosting without buying other services from 1984. The pricing page lists FreeDNS under the domain products section and also offers a paid FreeDNS+ add-on for priority expert support.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and has no usage cap, so it is worth more than a token trial or credit. The main paid reference point on the page is FreeDNS+ at about $3.66/month, which is mostly priority expert support rather than core DNS access, so the free offering is reasonably valued at about $3/month. A credit card is not explicitly waived on the page, and account signup is required.
What's included in the free tier
- FreeDNS domain registrations with pricing listed for supported TLDs.
- FreeDNS account access for managing DNS services.
