The Domain Name System resolves domain names into addresses. Each domain has a set of data associated with it. This data is called a "zone".

The address of each domain's DNS servers is something that is set when you register the domain.

Each domain should have at least two DNS servers designated as the "authority" for a domain. The authoritative servers contain the a copy of all the zone's data.

Some domain registrars will also provide DNS services for you, but most charge extra for DNS services.

ZoneEdit will host the DNS records for up to five domains for free. There is a small charge if you exceed a generous amount per traffic per month, or you want to manage more than 5 domains. »www.zoneedit.com/

Another place that will provide free DNS records is Granite Canyon. »www.granitecanyon.com/
