Hi Eli, I recently paid that much for an account, yes, but I have worked with them for the last couple of years, and referred some 20 people to them, non of them had any complaint about the service. Moreover, they answer questions/request very promptly (I had an average of 30 minutes round trip when mailing them on US work-time hours, with very low deviation). They are also eager to help and have very technical people on payroll (e.g. when a zone transfer was broken, I had spoke with a person there and we were talking about using dig etc. for diagnosing the problem, and he had no problem with understanding me (as opposed to Israeli ISPs' support, for instance)).
On the other hand, if I were you I would have gladly paid a few extra $ a year to Yahoo, for ease of mind, if I had good experience with them. Also, if you need any configuration on vipe's side, please let me know. As the physical vipe-master is abroad, we "virtual" ones are covering for him.. :) Shachar -----Original Message----- From: Eli Billauer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 4:47 PM To: Haifa Linux Club Mailing list Subject: Re: [Haifux] haifux.org is about to expire Hello All & Shachar (Tal & Shemesh). >First, I would like to suggest that you use another regsitrar, as there are >plenty regsitrars that will charge you $8.99 or less (I recently payed that >much for a .com domain).

Muli suggested domainsnext after working with them for a while. What worried me in your recommendation was the word "recently". The point is that my time is worth more than a few dollars per month. I went for expensive Yahoo! in the first place, knowing that Yahoo! is a rather stable foundation. It was a quick-and-dirty operation, which I fix now. >Second, Those A records aren't too standard. > I suppose you're right. But it has been working for a year with no known problems. With our vipe-master abroad for another couple of months, the last thing I want is to make changes. So thanks for the comment, but I think we'll keep it as is (forgiving Shachar Shemesh for making www.haifux.org a CNAME of haifux.org -- he knows what he's doing). >Third, I can offer you an NS service on vipe itself, and can point you at >several free secondary NS services around, such as >http://www.granitecanyon.com , for added redundancy. > That sounds like a good idea. I think I'll make use of that. >Fourth, the MX record will be better off pointing to >vipe.stud.technion.ac.il and not vipe.technion.ac.il. > Again, you may be right, but with all problems that we've had so far with the mailing list server, we better enjoy the stability as long as it prolongs...
