Terms of Use
Last updated: May 24, 2026
Use zones you control
Only add domains or zones that you own or are authorized to manage. You are responsible for your primary DNS, your zone contents, and the delegation changes you make at your registrar or parent zone.
Transfers must be allowed
PuppyNS needs your primary nameserver to allow zone transfers. If transfers are blocked, unavailable, or misconfigured, PuppyNS may not be able to serve the zone.
Keep it clean
Do not use PuppyNS for illegal, abusive, phishing, malware, spam, or harmful activity. Do not attack, overload, scan, or interfere with the service or other users.
Removal
PuppyNS may remove abandoned, misconfigured, abusive, harmful, or unauthorized zones. Unfinished setups may also be removed so the service stays tidy.
Best-effort service
PuppyNS is provided best-effort and does not include an uptime guarantee. DNS outages, transfer failures, primary DNS problems, registrar mistakes, and delegation errors can happen.
Changes to the service
PuppyNS may change, pause, or discontinue the free service. If a change affects your zone, the status page or operator communication should give you the next useful step when practical.
