Zone File control needed w/ free webhost

dgnr8 · 11-13-2007, 05:35 PM

Hello guys and gals.

I'm looking to host my domain, the problem im having is most freehost require me to change my NS's. I understand this and its really great for account creation automation, however i need to control my own zone as i make changes on the fly for subdomains, mail servers etc etc. Do any ad-free host do this? I haven't found one yet (honestly i havent looked very hard).

Your own DNS host?

nope, i need webhosting but i also need to keep my domain on the nameservers they are on. So i'd need an address or ip to point to as opposed to changing my nameservers to the freehosts.

you could redirect to a submdomain

why keep it on the same name servers?

I love the webgui provided for the dn-servers i'm on now. Honestly tho', If i knew before hand that the new nameservers had a nice little gui i could use, i would consider moving my zone over!

What use does the web gui have? o.0 o.0 example..?

modify and add records to my zone file on the fly, with access to chnage my ttl etc etc. everything you can do in a zone file through VI except in a webgui.

I guess then i should be asking -

Do any ad-free host give access to edit zone files once a user moves their domain over to that hosts name servers?
