I just moved my sites to a RAMnode (Atlanta), and host my WHMCS and some other stuff at a Hostigation (Charlotte) although I meant it to be the other way round but meh.. buy me some time. Backups are

I've got a smaller VPS acting as a monitor and master DNS server (currently at BudgetVM). If it detects that the master is down, it starts a failover process and switches the DNS (TTL 300).

How do you host your website, and what do you do when your webserver goes down? Do you have 2 webservers in sync, and DNS that failovers? If so, how do you sync them, and what DNS service do you use?

center, the downside is we need to use their DNS control panel for IPv6 rDNS which isn't a big deal. Most clients open a ticket and we'll add the rDNS record that same day.

We delegate /48s in Austria, with DNS, on request (Image)

I hate doing rDNS via ticket and I wish there was a way around it but since we get our IPv6 from our DC we are at the mercy of their DNS control panel. Personally I don't understand why IPv6 is double

* You control your rDNS (both IPv4 and IPv6)

Already got a Fanatical VPS, they are my backup MX/DNS. Rock Solid.

In fact I think I have enabled Advance DNS Editor which will allow you to change DNS of the A record directly, so you do not even to upload anything.

Our old DNS company is still increasing our DNS use numbers even though we changed our nameservers away from them over 36 hours ago.

I am testing a provider that posts here now as an alternative to DNSMADEEASY and the other company I won't name.

This is a real common problem with many outsourced DNS providers who bill with this sort of overage model.

I would recommend @Nick_A of course, I got two DNS servers hosted with him and the performance is awesome. You got the performance numbers. Also KVM performs really well on high GHz E3 CPUs, and he's

Damn... I only just ordered several VPS to use as DNS servers. I would've liked that $15/year plan (Image)

About the same amount of fun as dealing with spam/DNS BLs: IRC network owners are just as bad to deal with to get unglined on large networks. Some customers may threaten to leave your company when the

4x Nameserver Cluster (cPanel DNS)

2x DNS servers

It is on the low end for 2008R2. Usually fine for running small websites, DNS etc... but nothing too intensive.
