CloudFlare

Cloudflare is probably one the largest free DNS hosting providers. But they are also technically a managed DNS host which means you don't have as much control. However, they do provide you with additional security features such as rate limiting, filtering, and blocking. Cloudflare's speeds are also faster than most premium DNS providers.
