Which nameservers do you use?
I recently hired a vps to host many personal websites.. the thing is:
I have the domain names,
I have the hosting (vps) with name based virtual hosts set up...
..... but I'm missing the nameserver that links these two
Untill now, i used FreeDNS Afraid.org nameservers, and they've been amazing.. if some page didn't load, it was always because of my home internet connection failing..
the thing is, I don't really know if it's a reliable service or not, if the other alternatives are better (or not)...
The only I used was afraid.org... i know the existence of zoneedit.com (didn't use) and dyn (expensive, didn't use)
what do you use for your nameserver needs? do you host your own nameservers? do you buy the service from someone?
Thanks for sharing, have a nice day

For one domain i just use name.com's DNS
For all my other domains i use cloudflare for DNS
All my domain using cloudflare.
The interface looks sleak, it's reliable and got optional on demand CDN and flood filter

Since I have a vps with buyvm and they give you free dns, I use them for a few domains, I like the setup and the fact it's cpanel for admin.
I use mainly PointHQ (and for some domains namecheap.com's freedns).
Cloudflare or dns.he.net. Both are rock solid.
CloudFlare, HE.net
DNS update almost instant. I'm just using it as nameserver though. :-)
i'm using cloudflare for DNS
namecheap ones
< selfpromo > ... so maybe it's time to switch to Rage4 DNS
< /selfpromo >
Personally it varies by domain, often I'll use dns.he.net, sometimes namecheap's own, I have a few clients that are pretty much 100% cloudflare, some will use the built in DNS of vpsnodebox and others who have a mix of just about everything.
I'll try your service sometime in the future. Already registered though. :-)
I use Rackspace's free DNS.
Namecheap, Cloudflare, or HE.net
Self hosted nameservers for 108 zones/domains (1,298 dns records) using PowerDNS nameserver software (free, open source) and PowerAdmin for administration (free, open source, very easy to use) , and 3 512MB VPS's (nginx/minstall) in different data centers to run it: IntoVPS (Amsterdam, $10), DotVPS (Rotterdam, $4), IcelandVPS (Reykjavik,$4). Total monthly cost $18.
definitely rage4
Im using rage4 as well
I use ones provided by Daddy and my VPS provider LFCVPS
Cloudflare, I
it to bits.
HE.net, although I might take a look at Cloudflare.
Just recently setup my own dnsonly cluster for fun. http://dns3d.com Though it's only serving two domains right now until I get off my butt and get everything else on board.
My domainname provider's nameservers are good, why is everyone using something else? Some are on cloudflare to speed up some sites that are intended for USA public but are hosted in Europe.
My own: anycasted.com
DNSMadeEasy for corporate sites & cPanel DNS cluster for other sites I manage
Geoscaling for one of my domains, as they've got a little PHP example thingy that will do nearest-first GeoDNS. Going to move it to Rage4 as soon as they issue their latest update.
Rage4 (they're A++) for the few others I care about and HE DNS for the stuff I don't.
Anyone used Rage4 for a long period? Can't trust them with any serious yet... The fact they use SoftLayer DNS for their own domains doesn't help.
@adly - why do you think we should use our own DNS to host our own domains?
I use Sitelutions' free DNS.
