Security Considerations
While cloudns.net is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Custom Subdomains
cloudns.net
allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.cloudns.net". An address like "paypal-secure.cloudns.net" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not ClouDNS.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
