Relying on cPanel DNS instead of domain registrar's
Hi guys,
Let me know your opinion on this one. Is it good to rely on cPanel DNS, provided that there are 4 nameservers on different datacenters, instead of using the DNS interfaces of your domain registrar?
I'm thinking of doing this for shared hosting clients who relies on cPanel's interface alone and doesn't want accesses to separate systems.
Thank you.

most registrars have surprisingly lousy DNs service in my experiences.
then using cPanel's should be better?

Yeah I use CloudFlare for most of my DNS work, uptime is great. It secures your site as well!

Cloudflare seems to be the most reliable.
Providing their are 4 clustered DNSs in different locations then it should be fine to.
pointhq are really good, apart from the issue they had last year, they've been perfect.

So far very reliable and fast response.
Love to try Rage4 ... but it just stalls when I try to import a domain
@nikc - enable AXFR on your current nameserver
Rage4 DNS quite nice. Tested myself.
wow CloudFlare and Rage4 are dominating this thread
will surely consider them.
Cloudflare can't beat anycast and 25+ pops
Which DNS provider allows bulk changes to domains?
+1 for Rage4
IMO running 4 on different DC for an own use gets a considerable additional uptime/servers maintaining, added to the main website, so I'd say depends also on the main websites and how much work it require itself, I guess that can play a role in deciding.
Does anyone here use AWS' Route 53? Switched to them and they're pretty good; I don't mind paying $0.50 per zone if it's reliable.
@gubbyte - they do not offer IPv6 anycast and their latency based DNS (geoDNS) works only with their DCs
Cloudflare, or Dnsmadeeasy, the IP failover stuff is pretty cool with Dnsmadeeasy.
+1 for rage4 @gbshouse .. started using it recently..so far the complete DNS system
Another vote for rage 4 using it for all my domains
