<p dir="ltr">I haven't looked at their site, but I'll guess standard DNS is they host your site name on their name server. The higher one allows you to add A records, MX records, CNAME etc..</p>
<p dir="ltr">Host your own is self- explanatory.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You are required to have a valid name server when registering a domain with IANA, so the would need for you to do one of the three options. I don't know that they have the best price.. </p>

I want to get a dynamic dns account for my vanity domain, <a href="http://johnheim.com" target="_blank">johnheim.com</a>. I see that dyndns has a debian package so I went there and created an account. When I started putting things in my shopping cart, I saw that transfering the domain was like ten or twelve bucks. But it wants to charge me something like $35 for "standard DNS". Do I need that? I'm getting a total of around $45 for one year. Everywhere else I look, it's $10 to $15 *total*.<br>
<br>
The shopping cart options at <a href="http://dyndns.com" target="_blank">dyndns.com</a> for DNS are something like "standard DNS", managed DNS (which is way more), and "I want to run my own DNS server." I don't want to pay $35 for DNS nor do I want to run my own DNS server. Is the shopping cart just misleading or do I really need that standard DNS service?<br>
<br>
I know that I could just use a different company but I'm blind <a href="http://anddyndns.com" target="_blank">anddyndns.com</a> works well with a screen reader. Better than namecheap, godaddy, or namesecure.<br>
