About FreeDNS

FreeDNS from afraid.org hosts DNS for your own domain and offers subdomains on more than 23,000 domains in its shared registry, used with the owners' consent. Dynamic DNS updates work through a simple URL that can be called with curl, for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Members also get web forwarding, IPv6 reverse DNS and backup DNS, and a router setup guide explains how to keep an address updated from common routers. Premium options sit alongside the free service.

  • Dynamic updates with a single curl call
  • IPv6 updates and IPv6 reverse DNS
