Free / Pay Combination Providers
- 2 free domain records
- $12/year per domain after that
Zoneedit has recently updated their web interface. They used to be relatively inexpensive but since the upgrade the credit consumption system seems to be more aggressive, or perhaps, they now keep track better. A credit costs $1.00 and one credit is consumed each month for each domain. That comes to roughly $12/yr for a domain with only a 5% discount for 3 domains a year or 20% for 10 a year, still adding up to $96.00. Zoneedit has gotten more expensive. There is no limit to the number of records for each domain.
- 1 free domain trial
- $10/yr for 10 domains
If the pricing guide on the web site is correct, 10 domains for $10 a year is a good deal, however, the number of records for each domain is limited. It would come to about 10 records for each domain.
- $9/yr per domain
- 10 records per domain limit
If you have between one and five domains, $8.95 is your cost per year per domain.
- free option available
- 30-day free trial
- $30/yr for 10 domains or $60/yr for 25 domains
The 10 domain option may only include 1 dns server, however, it is unclear by the pricing.
