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

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
