Hey all, Anthony (@aeden) from DNSimple here. First of all, thank you for the kind words from Alex, Nic, Coby and Patrick, I really appreciate it.
I just wanted to chime in and say it's totally reasonable to buy your domain with a registrar and then use someone else for DNS. While we do offer both registration and DNS at DNSimple, I fully understand the desire to separate them out, and we support that. Finally, if you ever need any help with things domain and DNS related, I'm here to help. You can email me directly or send an email to [email protected] -Anthony On Tuesday, March 19, 2013 5:49:32 PM UTC+1, Dave wrote: > > I bought a .io domain at gandi.net yesterday.
