A few days ago, CloudXNS urgently notified non-authenticated users that their domain names would be suspended from resolution. Many users were unable to change their domain name DNS in time, resulting in their websites being inaccessible. It is easy to be affected by sudden changes in China, which has caused some users to lose confidence in domestic services. There are also many overseas vendors that provide free domain name DNS resolution services. This article collects and organizes them for your reference.

DNSPOD International Version

Official website: DNSPOD International Version

Supports domain name zone resolution, with DNS servers located in China, providing relatively fast resolution speeds. Since being acquired by Tencent, the international version has not been updated, and it is unclear whether it will be affected by sudden changes in the future.

HE.NET DNS

Official website: Hurricane Electric Hosted DNS

HE.NET DNS is an established overseas DNS service provider with powerful functionality and fast activation, and it is very stable. However, the interface seems a bit outdated and simple.

Cloudflare

Official website: Cloudflare

Cloudflare's main business is CDN distribution. By changing the domain name to Cloudflare DNS, you can also use the CDN service for free. However, the free CDN service's speed in China is not ideal, so you can disable the CDN and use it separately for domain name DNS.

DigitalOcean DNS

Official website: DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is an overseas cloud server vendor. Many users may have used their VPS services, and they also provide free domain name DNS resolution services.

Summary

There are numerous free domain name DNS services available. The above list includes some commonly used overseas DNS services. Overseas DNS may have higher latency, but it is still acceptable. If your website has high traffic and stricter requirements, it is recommended to consider paid DNS services like Route 53.
