Most, but not all,domain name registrars include DNS hosting service with registration. Free DNS hosting services also exist. Almost all DNS hosting services are “shared”; except for the most popular Internet sites, there is no need to dedicate a server to hosting DNS for a single website. Many third-party DNS hosting services provide Dynamic DNS.

These services generally also offer Dynamic DNS. Free DNS typically includes facilities to manage A, MX, CNAME, TXT and NS records of the domain zone.

In many cases the free services can be upgraded with various premium services.

Free DNS service providers can also make money through sponsorship. The majority of modern free DNS services are sponsored by large providers of a telecommunication services.

Frequently their servers are worldwide located to provide high speed of work, and also high reliability.
