If you've got what it takes to administer your own webserver but you don't want the added hassle of running a DNS server, you're ready for directDNS. It's only US$5.00 per year.
With directDNS, you have full control over your domain name. This solution is best for businesses with their own IT department or on-site administrators. It allows you to use your own servers for your domain name, while using directNIC nameservers.
Computer hobbyists and users in the know can also benefit. Using directNIC's directDNS service and a web server on your own computer, you can set www.yourdomain.com to be hosted on your own server, instead of using a commercial or free hosting service. You can also point your subdomains to your different IP addresses.
Having control of your sites DNS opens up many possibilities. With this feature, you can point any name on your domain to any IP on your network, allowing you to roll out a full range of network capacity. It is also compatible with third-party email services, such as everyone.net.
