I am a free tier sucker. I use it for testing DNS setups with our hosting platform. But I love it. Maybe some exposure helps to bring some paying customers.

This is one of the most solid and longest lasting services online. Have been using it for almost two decades I think and nothing's changed.

This is awesome. I'll use them as a backup DNS service; the paid version is significantly cheaper than spinning up a new domain server with the cheapest provider I know.

Not to downplay my own skills, but their OpenBSD infrastructure is a good idea. They'll be up when my DNS servers are down.

Isn't it FreeBSD?

Yes.

I am interested, but I have some questions that don't seem to be addressed in the about us page:

How well is continuation guaranteed?

What if someone buys them? Or the maintainer stops for whatever reason?

This looks so much like https://dns.he.net/ that it seems to me it can’t be a coincidence. Is this a case of copying a well known design or is there more to it?

jstanley•7m ago

Doesn't look that similar to me, they both just look a bit old.

I wouldn't think much of it. It was a popular design trend for a while there; some just never updated. I don't blame them, it's fairly decent on readability and minimalism.

Site has been hugged to death.

Free services are never free. It is only free because someone else is paying.

I don’t use this but “hoping” that someone else will donate is not sustainable for them and unrealistic in the long term.

Maybe they should start charging.

Well, they've been around for 14 years. And they do charge for some services.

Can someone explain how and why and when this would be used?
