Running my own DNS server(s) or using some 3rd party

Running Hurricane Electric DNS, takes cares of all things I need including ability to dynamically update domain name IP addresses using cron and curl.

For speed, I'd go with Cloudflare and Rage4 for features

Don't mention sz1, it's that easy.

Being a good boy doesn't always helps. Even our "Free school servers" are receiving DDoS for no reason.

When you've critical things you can't be just "good boy" and rely only on "luckiness" , you need to be prepared! That's it.

@alexvolk - from infra. point of view we use mix of physical and virtual (enterprise grade). The routers are isolated from DNS servers and support load balancing and distri bution on BGP level so we can scale horizontally. If we want to keep pricing low we need to control the TCO. We do not plan PoP in Arizona. The central cluster issue in November last year was related to missing index (if I remember correctly)

Get a Rage4 DNS account from Prometeus for $15/year or use Cloudflare's free dns.

I use Rage4 and I think it's great. It integrates perfectly with cPanel as well.

I use CloudFlare, cPanel & Name.com DNS. Name.com is just flawless, very fast updating (within some seconds). Then, cPanel & CloudFlare, also used NameCheap's Free DNS. It's also good but it had a downtime earlier last year, I was offline for that there -_-
