Outsourced DNS
Hey hey!
I currently use mydomain.com for DNS management, but I doesn't really feel comfortable with them..
I've been looking a little at dnsmadeeasy.com, they seems to have a great service, but they seem a little small.. started in 2001 and so on.. I don't know, is there any better solution?
The price doesn't really matter, I want the best!
Anything to recommend except for zoneedit which I don't like.
Can anyone recommend dnsmadeeasy for an mission critical business?
Thanks!

2net I would suggest simply asking around to some reputable hosts and see if they would offer you dns hosting across multiple servers (as most hosts do have plenty of servers in several datacenters). I would say that would be your best bet to find something truely mission critical.

DNSMadeEasy was designed by the guys that run DNSstuff.com/DNSreport.com I think, which are pretty reliable and informative websites so you can probably expect good things from them.
I agree though that pretty much anyone can do very reliable clustered DNS. We've got nameservers in quite a few different DC's and because it's all independant apart from when sync occurrs, the chance of anything going wrong is virtually zero, just goes to prove you really don't need something rediculously complicated to make sure your sites resolve 100% of the time.

We've used UltraDNS for several years and have been very pleased with their service. They're one of the more expensive third party DNS providers, but they have a blue chip list of clients and we've had no reason to consider anyone else. If you ever need more advanced DNS services like geographic load balancing, hot failover, etc. they can accommodate that as well.

Check out DollarDNS. It's got the most flexible zone manager of any such service I've ever come across, and the guy that runs it knows EVERYTHING about DNS.

I would take a look at EasyDNS (http://www.easydns.com).
Their primary business is focusing on providing DNS related services. They are now a fully accredited ICANN registrar too.
They are probably one of the best DNS providers out there

Couldnt your registrar host your DNS? Like Godaddy or Network Solutions, if you already have a domain name with them DNS hosting is free.
