A German non-profit offering free, DNSSEC-enabled managed DNS hosting funded by donations rather than ads.

deSEC is a managed DNS hosting service operated by a registered non-profit association (e.V.) based in Berlin, Germany. It automatically signs every hosted zone with DNSSEC and positions itself as a privacy-respecting, non-commercial alternative to ad- or data-driven DNS providers.

The service is free to use and sustained through donations and grants instead of monetizing customer data. A REST API lets developers automate zone and record changes, which makes it popular for dynamic DNS and self-hosting setups.

Its non-profit legal structure gives it different incentives than venture-backed DNS providers, favoring openness and longevity over upselling.
