FreeDNS - Free DNS - Dynamic DNS - Static DNS subdomain and domain hosting

Set up your own Home Server...

Free DNS Hosting, Dynamic DNS Hosting, Static DNS Hosting, subdomain and domain hosting.


Why is it free? It's quite simple. We wanted a challenge... that's it.

Possible Uses:
  • Host your own site on your own connection from home/work/school/etc
  • Access your computer with a name (like zeus.afraid.org or yourdomain.com) instead of a numeric IP address
  • Run your own http server, ftp server, or anything you want to install on your computer/server
  • Fetchable URL to update your IP instantly on our network if you have a dynamic address
  • Hosts even work for your LAN. If you have a LAN connected to the internet you can point hosts to private IP addresses (even private IPv6 addresses) and they will work within your network
  • Let your friends point theirname.yourdomain.com to their own connection
  • Use web forwarding to transparently redirect a hostname to another URL. Let our servers handle the redirection
  • afraid.org has been un-interrupted for hundreds of days at a time
  • afraid.org is operated from multiple redundant high capacity well connected servers
Feature List:
  • Free DNS, Dynamic DNS, Static DNS services
  • Free subdomain hosting, free domain hosting, free backup dns, reverse IPv6 DNS hosting (forward/reverse)
  • Free URL redirection [web forwarding]
  • Paid services available for increased account capacity
  • Unlimited number of domains per account (yes really)
  • 5 free shared hostnames, use anywhere
  • 20 free subdomains per domain, use on your own domains only
  • INSTANTLY point yourname.afraid.org or yourname.com to any IP or URL
  • Supports every TLD on the Internet
  • Currently 47,003 other domains besides afraid.org in our shared domain pool
  • Funding is supplied by the members who go premium. Funding goes directly to servers and high bandwidth connections they reside on
  • Robust support for CNAME, A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, LOC, RP, HINFO, SRV records
  • Are you a web developer? You can use nameserver branding to name our nameservers as your own! Let us worry about the maintenance/redundancy
  • Round robin DNS supported (Multiple IP addresses for 1 hostname)
  • IPv6 forward AND reverse (both .int and .arpa) supported
  • Dynamic DNS supported, several clients for Win32 and UNIX available
  • Forward your hosts to any existing URL on the internet (even to a different port if your ISP blocks 80) with the Web Forward system
  • URL cloaking redirection supported, optionally hide real URL of your site in the address bar
  • Allows you to change web hosting providers without messy DNS propigation delays
  • Simple, fast, flexible and reliable interface, feedback is welcome
  • Works with any existing web host you may already be using for both DNS and hosting
  • If your web host goes down, visitors will see a "timeout" error instead of a "site does not exist" error, e-mail will also remain queued for 5 days
  • If you put a domain in afraid.org, you can edit TTL, Minimum, Allow/Deny AXFR's, and approve/disapprove others from using hosts on your domain. You can also share your domain with the users of afraid.org, or your own web site visitors using our 'webclude' feature
  • Support for vanity dns hosts (example: i.knew.you.were.afraid.org) currently 47,003 domains in the shared pool
  • Fast and easy setup process. Setup an account in less then 5 minutes
