They have a 99.9999% uptime history. As far as I am aware there has only been one time they had any downtime in the time I've used them and it was only for a short period (something like an hour) and only affected some customers.

You can control TTL for each record too and drop it down to a minute (actually you might be able to make it less, can't recall off the top of my head). > > - contactable and useful support staff, who aren't afraid to put me > through to their engineers when I ask for something tricky or they don't > understand my problem. > > I've only dealt with support when I needed to make a modification to my billing so don't know about this.
