Jordan, Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. I have been using Crystal Tech to handle the DNS for sites I host with them. They provide me two DSN servers. In the most recent DDOS attack, both were affected.
I would like to have more DSN servers - some provided by someone else - for additional redundancy, if it is feasible. For example, I have been looking into the service provided by no-ip.com for this. http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/secondary_dns_backup.html I don't know if other providers would be a better deal or offer better service because I have always had the host handle the DSN in the past. I am really looking for recommendations on which company/service I should use for this purpose.
