I've been using mydomain.com for a good 6 years now on a personal website basis, and it's been down once in that time frame. It's free as well. For non-critical stuff, it may be worth a shot.

We're after full authoritative external primary DNS for around 25 domains, some are pretty much vanity domains, some get a bit of use. I use easyDNS for our important domains and they've never let me down (not that I know of) but they aren't the cheapest when it's not what I'd call a mission-critical domain name. I'm trying to find the best compromise between where I'm not "cheaping out" but not paying more than the domain registration fees just for the DNS :-) Nettica looks like an option, just emailed them to ask why reverse hosting is so pricey though. As Martin said, I'll also try our ISP, but I don't believe it'll be FOC as we literally use them for connectivity. cheers, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.
