Linode. The only issue is my app creates subdomains on signup, and it takes about 5 minutes on linode to become active.

- bkorte 16y agoCouldn't you use wildcard cnames?
- PawelDecowski 16y agoWhy don't you catch-all subdomains in your web server and handle them on application level?
- avar 16y agoYou can avoid that lag if you host your own stealth master and configure the Linode DNS servers as slaves. Having your domain distributed is just a NOTIFY and an AXFR away.
- donw 16y agoUse wildcard cnames, and have your application handle them internally. You can even do this for MX records with Linode, thanks to their excellent support staff adding the functionality to their DNS interface when I asked for it. :)
- neeleshs 16y agoThanks! Completely overlooked the cname. Was struggling with A records all the while
- JshWright 16y agoIf you really need that level of DNS control, you should probably be running DNS yourself. Linode lets you slave their nameservers to your master. So you get all the benefits of geographically distributed nameservers, but all the custom control of your own setup.
