About the Free DNS Project
Empowering the Internet with Open, Reliable DNS — for Everyone.
The Free DNS Project was created with a simple mission:
to make Domain Name System (DNS) hosting free, open, and accessible to anyone who needs it — without ads, tracking, or commercial restrictions.
We believe that DNS, as the foundation of the internet, should remain neutral and community-driven.
By providing free authoritative name servers, we help individuals, developers, and small organizations manage their domain DNS records easily and responsibly.
Free DNS Project
The Free DNS Project operates public DNS servers that allow users to host their own domain records — free of charge.
Our service includes:
-
Primary and Secondary Name Servers powered by Linux & BIND
-
Secure zone management for your domains
-
Fast DNS propagation with global accessibility
-
Simple registration system to get started in minutes
-
Optional donations via PayPal to help sustain operations
Our current name servers:
ns101.freednsproject.org
ns102.freednsproject.org
Community-Driven and Donation-Supported
We operate entirely through community support.
There are no paid plans, no hidden costs, and no advertisements.
Your donations help cover:
-
Server hardware and hosting costs
-
Domain and SSL renewals
-
Maintenance and security monitoring
-
Software and infrastructure upgrades
💙 If this project helps you, consider supporting it.
Every donation — no matter the amount — helps keep this free service alive.
Built on Open Source Principles
We use open-source technologies like:
-
Linux + CWP Pro for DNS management
-
BIND 9 for DNS serving
-
Almalinux 9 for system stability
-
Let’s Encrypt for encryption and SSL certificates
These open tools ensure transparency, flexibility, and independence — so the project remains trustworthy and sustainable.
Our Philosophy
We believe:
DNS should be free and neutral — not monetized or data-mined.
Privacy matters — we don’t log unnecessary data.
Open internet infrastructure should be maintained by communities, not corporations.
Education and collaboration strengthen the global web.
The Free DNS Project is our small contribution toward that vision — helping individuals and small organizations stay online, securely and independently.
Who We Are
