Sorry if this is very obvious to others but it's not at all clear to me.
I'm looking for a free or cheap private DNS service. I see recommendations for Quad9 and many others. They will return the IP address for domains I request, plus malware filtering. But I need to do more than that.
I don't even know if there's a name for what I want, a service where I can upload/set all the keys for my own domain, as opposed to one that resolves the IP addresses for domains that I ask it to.
I want to move the nameservers for domains I control to a new, (free or cheap, private) nameserver, and upload all its records (MX, SPF, domainkey etc). Then at my domain registrar, I change the existing ones (the host's nameserver URLs) to the new ones and see that all works as before.
This is in preparation for moving the domains to a new hosted server, which doesn't itself offer a DNS service.
The new server is VPS, but I'd rather not run my own DNS on the server.
If this is possible I imagine I need to prove ownership of the domains in some way, so that only I can change the keys.
