Any suggestions for a DNS service that specifically allows subzones, also called subdomains and delegation of those subzones.

I’m currently using CloudFlare and NameCheap. It doesn’t look like NameCheap doesn’t support subzones at all, and CloudFlare only supports them at the enterprise level.

      Been using afraid.org for well over 10 years and use dynamic dns to have various subdomains pointing to different IP addresses/hosts I have in physically different places. It just works and I login maybe once every 3-4 years.

      I’d second afraid.org, have been using them for years and they’ve always been great. They also support dynamic DNS so if you’re on a dynamic IP address you can have the address be updated automatically when your IP address does.

      More relevant to the question, I’m pretty sure you can create NS records for a subdomain as well. I was experimenting once a few years back with a DNS tunnel service and was able to get the DNS side of it configured. Never did get the service itself working but it was more of a curiosity at the time so didn’t spend a massive amount of time on it.

    what exactly do you mena under subdomains? Any DNS provider will support adding NS entries for subdomains if you want to host you sub-zone somwhere, And any should allow you to use names with “.” in it for “fake” subzone, like
    a.subzone1 IN A x.x.x.x
    a.subzone2 IN A y.y.y.y
