Free DNS is a DNS hosting service provided to help people whose domain registrars did not include DNS hosting with domain registrations. That is, if you have a domain registered somewhere but have no DNS, you could use NameCheap's DNS free of cost. You can also use our DNS as a backup if your current registrar already provides you with DNS or when the domain is being transferred in order to avoid downtime.

You can also take a look at our video tutorial for information on how to enroll your domain for Free DNS and learn how to avoid downtime during transfer.
