Setting up Google Apps with free DNS services

What if your domain name is booked with a registrar which has not offered you DNS management (or access to DNS control panel)? Either they do not provide DNS control panel OR unless you buy their hosting they don't give access to DNS control panel. And you are in no mood to invest more and buy additional services.

How you will setup Google Apps for your custom domain in such case?

Well, the answer is in using the free DNS services. in this post we are listing and comparing the free DNS providers.

EditDNS.net: Provides Primary Name server, unlimited free zones, unlimited free records, Records of type (A, AAAA, CName, MX, NS, SRV, TXT), Min TTL 300, SOA Modification allowed, Servers located in (North America - 3), Web forward with or without Cloaking

EveryDNS.net: Provides Primary Name server, 20 free zones, 200 free records, Records of type (A, CName, MX, NS,), Min TTL 120, SOA Modification not allowed, Servers located in (North America - 3 and Europe - 2), Web forward without cloaking

XName.org: Provides Primary Name server, unlimited free zones, unlimited free records, Records of type (A, AAAA, CName, MX, NS, TXT), Min TTL 600, SOA Modification allowed, Servers located in (Europe - 2), Web forward & Cloaking not allowed

ZoneEdit.com: Provides Primary Name server, 5 free zones, unlimited free records, Records of type (A, AAAA, CNAME, LOC, MX, NS, PTR, RP, TXT), Min TTL 1200, SOA Modification allowed, Servers located in (North America - 17, Oceania -1), Web forward with or without Cloaking

ZoneEdit seems to be a better option (although they provide only 5 free domains) as they have multiple servers located in North America.
