A DNS hosting service is a service that runs Domain Name System servers. Most, but not all, domain name registrars include DNS hosting service with registration. Free DNS hosting services also exist. Almost all DNS hosting services are "shared"; except for the most popular Internet sites, there is no need to dedicate a server to hosting DNS for a single website. Many third-party DNS hosting services provide Dynamic DNS.
DNS hosting service is better when the provider has multiple servers in various geographic locations that minimize lag time for clients around the world.
DNS can also be self-hosted by running DNS software on generic Internet hosting services.
