DNS: Cheap/free way to host a domain for a week

GaryH-21 · 20 Jul 2011 at 23:15

Hey guys,

I'm moving hosting providers and was wondering if anyone knows of any DNS servers I could cheaply chuck a domain on for a week?

Basically, all I'm looking for is temporarily moving my emails to Gmail, but need a DNS server for my domain to do so!

A free service would be nice, however I'm looking for something reliable as when changing providers, it's going to be urgent I have access to my emails.

Any recommendations of good DNS hosting services?

Check out FreeDNS. I actually have my name servers for my domain pointing to these guys anyway as they allow you to create A records with low TTLs which is handy. Service is decent and reliable and, as the name suggests, free.

Thanks for that - I'll check them out. Also got recommended ClouDNS on another forum, they seem decent too - Will check them both out!
