Dumb question, but why not host DNS name serving somewhere other that NIC.io so it does not go down? As I recall you can set the name server to live somewhere else, though I don't have the account pages open.
The dnscheck.pingdom.com page shows that .io domains commonly route to different name servers. Just try stream.io and slither.io and you should see different authoritative name servers. (I picked those randomly for the test.)
- mikepavone 9y agoDNS resolution is hierarchal. You start at the root DNS servers for a TLD to find the authoritative servers for a given domain in that TLD. You can host your authoritative servers wherever you want, but you have no control over the root servers and it was the latter that had problems.
- hodgesrm 9y agoThanks, that clears things up.
