Suggested managed DNS provider?

Question

We own/manage a few domains (nothing too large or too trafficked). Currently our DNS servers are hosted onsite. For ease of management and lower-latency DNS requests we are interested in moving our Domains offsite, does anyone have recommendations for a good DNS provider?

Answer 1

DynDNS.com

Answer 2

Zerigo offers some kickass features like a REST API, templates, and master/slave support. Relatively inexpensive, too.

Answer 3

We've been doing some research and so far, this is the list of provider's we've got that were not mentioned already here:

• http://aws.amazon.com/route53/
• http://www.dotquad.com/
• http://dnsimple.com
• http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/dns/
• http://durabledns.com/productsandservices/dns.html

And the ones that were already mentioned:

• http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/custom/ *

• http://www.zerigo.com/managed-dns

  • it should be noted that DynDNS has two somewhat separate divisions - their consumer service and their "enterprise" platform.

EDIT - They are pretty cheap to.

Answer 5

Consider using your domain registrar to host your DNS. It may already be provided as part of the domain registration.
