<p dir="ltr">I pay for service from <a href="http://dyn.com">dyn.com</a> so that I can have >1 <a href="http://dyndns.org">dyndns.org</a> addresses. That has been fine. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Last week, however, I encountered a BIG problem with Dyn. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Everydns.org merged into Dyn 2.5 years ago. The transition was well managed and communicated. So, I've also been using their DNS service since then. As a "legacy" Everydns customer, this service was grandfathered in for free. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Last week, they turned off the service with zero notice or communication. Their servers just stopped responding to DNS queries. I only found out when cached lookup information timed out across the net & mail started becoming undeliverable. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Shame on me for not having better monitoring tools. Shame on them for the lack of communication. It is unclear to me how many legacy Everydns customers remain or if all of the them were turned off. </p>

<div>I detest GoDaddy for reasons of ethical behaviour and
operational security. There's no need to rant here, as
details on those issues are just a google search away.<br>

To answer the original question, I use Gandi.net. It's a
bit more expensive, but they provide rock solid support
*AND* direct BIND zone manipulation. I can't speak for
their other services, as all I use is DNS reg.<br>

I have one domain and web on ipage, which is like $4 a
