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.
