RE: Looking for a DNS provider

[Bob Fronk]

I have been using LaneChange [ www.lanechange.net ] for 5 or 6 years.
Updates are fast and easy and propagate quickly.

 

I don't think I have ever experienced any issues from outages ,etc.
Decent pricing too.

I would like to be able to go online and add/modify/delete DNS records
for my domains at any time (24x7).

My current DNS provider (Paetec) is only available 9am-5pm M-F and I
have to submit a DNS request to them, wait for them to respond to my
request, assign the changes to an engineer, and then the changes are
finally made.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Dave

GoDaddy, NetSol, etc. all offer this.

 

Any hosting company using Helm or cPanel or Plesk will support this (I'm
sure there are others, but those are some big names in control panels).

Basically.

You can create subdomains (www.domain.com, webmail.domain.com) inside a
single zone..

Re: Looking for a DNS provider

AFAIK:

Each unique namespace is its own DNS zone.  Anything between a "." is break
in the namespace, and thus makes it unique.

I dunno how ZoneEdit makes its own distinctions for the benefit of their
services, but nested subdomains constitute multiple DNS zones.

RE: Looking for a DNS provider

[Andy Ognenoff]

ZoneEdit considers a zone anything you need sub records for – so the A
record for sub.domain.com lives in the domain.com zone but if that’s all you
need it’s just a zone credit for domain.com.  

If you needed an MX record off the sub.domain.com it would be a new zone,
according to ZoneEdit. I believe I’ve even setup A records as
sub1.sub2.domain.com and it only counted as 1 zone credit because it was
under the domain.com zone and that's all I needed.

The other things you can use "zone credits" for include adding a backup MX
service they host, or adding additional name servers beyond the two they
provide for free.

I've been using them for years and have had no problems - I think I've had
something like 30-40 zones with them.

Oh...and I was going to mention that I like using a dedicated provider for
DNS since it makes changing any other part of your hosting environment
easier – switching registrar, web host, etc. Not having to re-setup DNS when
those changes are made is nice.

I am willing to bet that is why we are using a different provider for DNS than 
our registrar.  So that we can switch registrars with no problems.

RE: Looking for a DNS provider

[Andy Ognenoff]

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.

Re: Looking for a DNS provider

[Jim McAtee]

Good point.  Splitting DNS service and registrar services offers limited 
protection from bastard domain registrars.  Because the registrar controls 
the records that point to the DNS servers themselves.  If you run into a 
dispute with your registrar (like GoDaddy shutting down sites whenever 
anyone asks) then they just point the nameservers at different DNS 
servers.  If they also control the DNS itself, they can do this 
immediately vs. the 48 hour propogation time it may take to change NS 
records at the registry.  Small comfort.


More important is to stay away from unscrupulous domain registrars. 
Tucows is one of the best, but try wrestling a domain away from GoDaddy. 
I've dealt with the situation several times and it can be a nightmare.

I would like to be able to go online and add/modify/delete DNS records for

My current DNS provider (Paetec) is only available 9am-5pm M-F and I have to
submit a DNS request to them, wait for them to respond to my request, assign
the changes to an engineer, and then the changes are finally made.

Any recommendations?

Re: Looking for a DNS provider

NSOL is fine for A records, but they do not offer reverse DNS for MX
records. I learned this mistake the hard way. They are one of the biggest
brand names in the space and I found it hard to believe they did/do not
provide this "basic" service required to properly handle MX records.

They can’t provide reverse DNS for address blocks that are not SWIPed to them 
or delegated to them. That’s simply the way DNS works.

I’m not sure why you find this “hard to believe”

Reverse PTR records need to be registered by whoever currently “controls” the

Re: Looking for a DNS provider

[Durf]

I also strongly recommend EasyDNS.  They have a few nice additional features:

1. Web redirection (basically a limited reverse proxy to get around
port 80 blocks)
2. A system monitoring service (limited, but will verify your ports
are open and working from offsite)
3. Outbound SMTP relay (again, to get around blocks by ISP's)
4. Will implement backup DNS if you are self-hosting

Not as important for enterprise customers, but *very* handy if you
have a residential service.

They also have a knowledgeable staff that are easy to work for and
will handle your registration for you if desired.

RE: Looking for a DNS provider

I never said I was going to be switching registrars.
I was just wondering why we weren't using our registrar for DNS.
And it was suggested to me that perhaps this was done so that we can switch 
registrars in the event that we would have/want to.
FYI - Discoveries like this happen all the time when you inherit a network.
