How to get a cheap nameserver

domain-name-systemnameserver

I have some domain names and a hosting package at a certain provider. It is not a very advanced package, so I have no option to create a nameserver there.

I have one domain name that I want to turn into a nameserver for the other domains.

So all my domain names would have ns1.thedomain.com, ns2.thedomain.com, ns3.thedomain.com; thedomain.com would have the same nameservers as well.

I do not want to a rent a whole VPS just for this purpose, nor do I want to use other free services where the nameserver of the primary domain becomes ns2.freedns.eu.com or something like that.

Is there a cheap alternative to do this?

A DNS hosting service sounds like what you're after:

DynDNS Custom appears to provide just that:

Side note: They were the only ones that could properly register my .name domain too :)
