About
Zoneedit provides DNS hosting, dynamic DNS, and domain management for domains the user owns. The free offering includes full-featured DNS management for most record types, along with URL redirection and email forwarding.
The free DNS zone includes 2 production nameservers in separate datacenters, 250,000 queries per month, dynamic DNS, and full zone control for A, CNAME, MX, NS, SRV, TXT, NAPTR, and IPv6 (AAAA) records. It also includes cloaked and redirect URL forwarding, email forwarding, and support through the community forums.
Free Tier Value
This free tier is worth about $1.40/month because the page says Managed DNS consumes 1 credit per month, and the cheapest paid way to buy that credit is the 1 Credit Pack at $1.40. It’s a capped, recurring free offer rather than an unlimited plan, and the page does not say a credit card is required to sign up.
What's included in the free tier
- Managed DNS with 1 credit per month.
- Primary DNS with 3 nameservers included.
- Dynamic DNS included.
- WebForward included.
- MailForward included.
