Not bad, very complete.
It’s pretty comprehensive now.
It seems there’s no dynv6; does DNSPOD require real-name registration to use?
Saved this—I’ve always used HE’s DNS before, looks like there are plenty of other options too.
Impressive, it’s all here.
Just want to ask, how do these compare to CF, which one is better? Why aren’t there so many DNS options in China? I’m a newbie, thanks.
If you can CF, is there even a choice? Command + Enter
xx Thanks, I don’t really understand, so I’m just asking. I don’t really know how to use CF either, I just use it by adding it to DNS, that’s all.
DNS is a fundamental service and is generally provided for free worldwide. Cloudflare (CF) offers the most comprehensive DNS features. Currently, there’s no real way to make a profit from DNS; it’s mostly an auxiliary business for domain registrars. Several domestic registrars provide free DNS services, but there’s now a trend toward charging and a downgrade in free offerings.
Additionally, due to government regulation of DNS in China, domestic providers’ DNS services are somewhat restricted and limited. As a foundational service, DNS can be extended in many ways, but ultimately it lacks a clear path to profitability, so it remains just a basic service. It’s like with domains—why is .com so dominant? The growth trajectory moved away from DNS. However, CF’s features have made people reevaluate DNS. Now Tencent is catching up, which also reflects the development trend. As for the future of CDN and DNS, I personally can’t see it clearly. These are just my own views; please feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken.
The domestic DNSPod supports adding subdomains, which feels pretty good. This way, it’s similar to those domains that have entered the PSL and are hosted on CF.

Thanks for sharing! I’m using the free version of Alibaba Cloud DNS.
To use DNS resolution for your own domain on DNSPod’s China site, real-name verification is required. For ICP filing, there aren’t really any restrictions, since domestic registrars will urge you about it anyway.
For the international site, whether you need to bind a credit card (they charge $1 for verification), phone number verification, and real-name verification (only for overseas users) depends on the account’s risk level. But I use the China site
