Could someone explain why goombastic is being down voted? I am unable to figure out what is objectionable about his comment, unless the provider he mentioned is known to be bad.

  Aren't up and down votes invisible?

    If a comment is net negative, it is shown in a hard to read color, the more harder to read the more negative it is. I don't know how many different levels there are, but here are the colors I've seen: #e6e6e6 #9c9c9c #737373 #bebebe #aeaeae #888888 #cecece #dddddd #5a5a5a At the time I asked why he was getting down voted, it was at least a net of two down votes, because I up voted and that did not restore the comment to the normal color.

This downvoting is weird. I am in no way affiliated with Namecheap. I am just an arbitrary guy who had to research, find alternatives and move due changes at Everydns.

I would recommend using a different DNS service than your registrar. If you ever need to move registrars, it will simplify your life. Personally, I use DNS Made Easy. Pretty cheap and reliable. And also, don't make the mistake I once did by hosting your domains with your hosting provider. You'll have to move all your DNS before moving your servers. Bottom line: use different providers for registering domains, hosting DNS servers and hosting your sites. Maximum flexibility and minimum headaches.

Thanks for the hint. I don't like the way my registrar name.com screws with NXDOMAIN for non-existent subdomain matches. For those interested, this seems to be the offer link http://www.namecheap.com/products/freedns.aspx http://www.namecheap.com/products/freedns.aspx There's also a non-profit http://freedns.afraid.org/ http://freedns.afraid.org/ Though, i don't know how reliable they are.
