Comment on Duck DNS's nameserver isn't working
merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 1 day agofreedns is good too but I ended up buying my own domain the other day for like 4 quid and now all my services get a much nicer name and unlimited DNS records

“unlimited DNS records”??
That’s like saying “I bought a house and I get unlimited door opens”
If you buy a domain you have full access and control over all of it.
A .com domain should only cost around $13/yr USD, and other TLDs can be even cheaper. There’s really no good reason to use some service that limits control and access just to save so little.

idk about others but at least with freedns you get 25 subdomains for free and obviously risk clashing names under the same shared domain.

Right. I’m not talking about the free service. I’m talking about the paid domain with “unlimited DNS records”. That just seems so weird and kind of a red flag. It seems I can’t find information about that without an account, either. Also weird and a red flag. But maybe that info is just buried in their site somewhere in the not-so-great design.

I think you misunderstood that they were citing that as a feature difference between your own domain and the free services.
