The whole deal is a bit confusing so I might ring them. It would be nice to have *everything* in one place.

I've had a good run with www.dnsmadeeasy.com http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com . For those sorts of dollars, they let me host about 50 domains and I've never had the slightest issue with them over many years.

RE: [OT] Email forwarding
www.noip.com may do what you want - Support for up to 5 MX Records MX records are responsible for making email delivery possible. Most DNS providers allow the use of one MX record. This is great if email is not important. With one MX record and a mail server outage, chances are emails to your domain will bounce. With multiple MX records you can specify up to 5 alternate mail servers that can receive email for your domain. Take a look at our Backup MX service if you are in need of another backup mail spool From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Friday, 29 November 2013 9:22 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: [OT] Email forwarding Hello Friday Folks, For more than 10 years I've had some DNS records maintained by DynDns.

Re: [OT] Email forwarding
I am using Amazon Route 53 for DNS. I don't use anything else Amazon but find the DNS only costs a couple of dollars a month for about 10 domains. It seems pretty reliable, never had any downtime since I changed over from ZoneEdit which was having outages.
