  • Extremely reliable, fast, and redundant hosting, and interface
  • The FreeDNS router setup guide with DD-WRT (v2) and the DD-WRT (v1) guide are guides that shows new users the most common/convenient configuration on a dynamic IP address, but is good for any new user to review to quickly understand the site flow.


  • Starting with the gold plan, you can use nameserver branding.

    Brandable nameservers allow a webmaster to use their own domain in their delegations.

    For example, Instead of :
    NS1.AFRAID.ORG
    NS2.AFRAID.ORG
    NS3.AFRAID.ORG
    NS4.AFRAID.ORG

    You could use:
    NS1.YOURBUSINESS.COM
    NS2.YOURBUSINESS.COM
    NS3.YOURBUSINESS.COM
    NS4.YOURBUSINESS.COM

    This allows you to further impress your clients by appearing to operate your own nameservers with your company name in distributed locations!

    This also means you're not sharing any naming resources with the free users, providing you the highest level of reliable service.
