About FreeDNS

FreeDNS is a web service for managing DNS records. It offers free and premium DNS hosting, including subdomains, full domains, dynamic DNS, static DNS, and web forwarding (URL redirection). Users can point a name such as a subdomain at a home, office, or cloud system instead of using a numeric IP address. Dynamic DNS updates can be sent with a simple web request, and the homepage shows examples for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Some features are described as premium, and the homepage lists premium plans separately. The homepage says that hosts can be created on domains owned by other people only with the domain owner's consent. Account recovery depends on the email address saved in preferences. Current pricing is not confirmed in this entry.

FreeDNS FAQ

How do I update my IP address for dynamic DNS?
The homepage shows an example of sending a request with curl to a unique sync URL linked to your account. For IPv6, the homepage says to use the same method with the v6 sync address.
What happens if I forget my password?
The homepage says the only way to recover an account is through the email address supplied when the account was set up. It recommends keeping that email address current in the preferences area.
Can I create a host on a domain I do not own?
The homepage says hosts can be created on other domains hosted by FreeDNS, but only with the domain owner's consent. It also says several domains are available to choose from.
