As you can tell from recent emails, I'm doing a lot of digital house cleaning!
One issue is DNS, both registration of names and management of the DNS name
servers.
I've got my registrar on RegisterGo, a HostGo company, for 6 names .. except
for one .us domain which is on dotster (fortherestof.us). My name servers are
www.dnsmadeeasy.com rather than on my hosting server (joyent.com). I do this
because it gives me finer grain control of my name services, and joyent does
not have a fine grain DNS service.
For example, I have disk.backspaces.net go to an entirely different server than
backspaces.net. Similarly, I have my MX records go to Postini first for
filtering, then sent to backspaces.net.
Here's the question: is there a single company like godaddy or dotster or
similar that provides all the DNS services? This would include registrar, name
server, and name server management like subdomains and MX records. I'd much
prefer to have everything managed by one company rather than spread out over
several.
