This is something I never understood. I am not a sys-admin by any means, but I have never used a registrar, or host that does not have free DNS.
However, I have seen people pay for DNS hosting, separate from their registrar... which is odd to me.
Is this one of those things that was not available back in "good ol-days", so all the sys-admin thinks you have to worry about it separately?
Or is there some sort of benefit to having multiple DNS providers?
