I agree with John. I have been using DNSReport.Com for years and no other service has been as reliable. I don't have a problem at all paying the small amount that they ask for a super service.

Exactly, what's wrong with that? Many sites/services/application designers ASK for donations or payment if we like the software but they still make it available regardless. Dnsstuff and Experts Exchange are no different. Feel free to support them with your $ if you want, I will continue to use what is freely available from them until they decide to no longer allow the free service. They provide a service, and yes - while there are obvious ways to use it without paying - IMHO they've earned it for providing such an outstanding tool. Sure they have, but it is an option and is not required to use their service. >From the dnsstuff site's terms of use: "MEMBERSHIP: The DNSstuff tools are made available for free on our website. Membership is granted to users on an individual basis for an annual fee." My only regret is that I can no longer watch HBO by holding down the correct 3 buttons on my wood-grain plastic cablebox. :) Or watch the adult channel, squiggly and without sound, by carefully adjusting the analog tuning dial on the old black and white TV. The point is, there is no reason to stop using dnsstuff just because they are asking for money now.
