    i have used
    http://www.everydns.com/ and it works :D
    please give us more information about the problem

    edit
    you have to set your nameservers to ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, and ns4.everydns.net ( in your registrar)
    and them you can play with the dns setting by adding A name , C name , MX entry etc...
    also by A name you can point to desired ip adress

    Everydns works well for me.

    I mix their name servers with mine, with their servers secondarying off mine.

    1. Set up your own name servers.
    2. Make sure 71.6.202.218 (axfr.everydns.net) has permission to pull an AXFR from your primaries.
    3. Set up everydns as a secondary.
    4. Add their name servers (ns[1-4].everydns.net) to your NS records.

    Presto, done.

    Goodness. I think I might be a little too lazy for that.

    Initially, since you wrote "I signed up wiith everydns.net and i hav no idea how to add nameservers into it", I thought you were trying to configure EveryDNS to read from your name servers, or to add additional name servers to the record set.

    It sounds like you actually just want to use EveryDNS. In that case, you don't have to add any name servers to it. They provide you with 4 name servers (ns1.everydns.net, ns2, ns3, ns4). Go into their web interface, set up whatever you need, then go to the place where you registered the domain name, and put those ns1.everydns.net, ns2, ns3, ns4 servers in there.

    The specifics of it will depend on where you registered your domain; each registrar has its own interface.
