I can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I did it for clients was that I would walk into a situation where there was no technical person at the organization, had their administrative assistant setup up as the domain's administrative and technical contacts, and they would switch registrars when they found others offering cheaper domain transfers.
So, splitting DNS off made it easier to manage...and more than once I ran into a situation where they transferred a domain and mail *mysteriously* stopped working. :) Now the splitting up of services is just habit for me and gives me flexibility if I need it. P.S. I agree that you shouldn't switch registrars if there's no need, but sometimes there is - like consolidating when one business unit went out and registered their own names for a specific purpose without consulting the org's IT dept. - Andy O. >-----Original Message----- >From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 6:50 PM >To: NT System Admin Issues >Subject: RE: Looking for a DNS provider > >Why do you want talk about registrars like that?
