I have a domain but no self-help-DNS. Where can I find it.

Poor English, Sorry.

Also try http://mydomain.com/ and http://www.domainredirect.com/.

EDIT: Note that ZoneEdit has a limit on DNS entries per year, though I think its pretty high, a million I think.
Though it's no good for a popular site. :rolleyes:

How do you use it exactly?
At the moment my DNS are pointed directly to my host but I need to use these DNS service because my server use ensim CP and it don't allow me to give my users subdomain access..

Anyway I wanted to know if it's possible to change my DNS to one of these free service without getting any downtime on my page?

Thanks

MyDomain Plus is free as well. Which is strange, but unless they changed something very recently, MyDomain.com DNS management is completely free, both levels of service.

A winning couple as I use them and it works:
1. Primary DNS ns0.xtremeweb.de
(setup... thru https://dns.xtremeweb.de beware the https!)
2. Secondary DNS at http://www.twisted4life.com

They allow you to define zones BEFORE registering the domains.

So:

1. Create account and zone at xtremeweb.de
2.Wait as long as you can edit your zone (it takes around 30 minutes) and edit your zone at xtremeweb.de: add the ns1.twisted4life.com IP address as NS record.
3. Create account and zone at twisted4life
4. Create your domain
5. To update any value (A, CNAME, MX) just go to xtremeweb.de...

Don't understand what A, CNAME, MX are?
Take a basic DNS course;)

Mydomain.com is probably the easiest one to use.
