I’ve been using Hetzner for some time, but now I want to host everything myself at home.

DNS was easy with Hetzner, just point the domain to Hetzner’s nameservers, and from there to my server.

How are people doing this for home servers? When there’s not access to something like Hetzner’s nameservers.

Is there a free/cheap nameserver I can use to point at my home server’s IP?

    I was in your shoes a few months ago when I decided to look into spreading my hosting needs around after using a hand-holding all-in-one provider for a decade. DNS is not that hard, and learning about it will be very good in this hobby.

    Also, a good service provider will help you with most of the complexity, for example an email provider with all the MX and anti-spam records you need, you just need to import them into the DNS.
