Recently in DNS Category

We've recently released major upgrades to our dashboard which dramatically improve the setup and management of your domain names. Hopefully this will make things even easier for you!

Web application setup

There is a new overview page that lists all available apps and services. We've also added more documentation and information within the dashboard for custom domain mapping of your favourite service.

Our web app directory now contains more than 30 services in the following categories: email, blogs, website builder, forums, ecommerce, portfolios, social networks, url shortener and wikis.

This tool has been completely re-written. Let us know if you have any troubles using it. We've got big plans for DNS management which are especially interesting for developers so stay tuned!

One of our core philosophies at iWantMyName is openness. For example, we we don't force you to use our nameservers and DNS hosting services for your domain names. It might even make perfect sense to seperate domain registration and DNS hosting in some cases. That's why you can always update the nameservers of your registered domains in real-time through your online dashboard to host it somewhere else.

There are many free DNS hosting services out there and depending on the level of service or amount of domains (some of them offer paid account upgrades) they might already be sufficient for your needs. Some of the most popular ones are:

• ZoneEdit.com (5 domains free)
• EveryDNS.net (from OpenDNS founder David Ulevitch)
• editDNS.net (free for up to 5 domains)
  
• XName.org (non-commercial)
  
• FreeDNS (unlimited domains, 20 subdomains)
• Zerigo (also integrates with Heroku)
