	tl;dr: FreeDNS (afraid.org) is a long-running free DNS hosting service offering dynamic DNS, static DNS, subdomain hosting, URL redirection, backup DNS, and IPv6 reverse DNS, with both free and premium tiers. Dynamic updates are handled via simple HTTP(S) GET requests (e.g., curl to sync.afraid.org), with IPv6 support via a v6 subdomain. The service hosts over 23,000 shared domains and reports 7.1M+ members and 13.8M+ DNS records.
