Isn't it like ops 101 to never have your DNS hosted by the same people you registered your domain with (as if you are shut out of the DNS for any reason you will need access to the registrar to quickly migrate to a different provider, while, in the other direction, full registrar access isn't actually ops critical until you need to change your DNS hosting company)?
- cobertos 3y agoIs it? Having 2 failure points is worse than 1, if the failure points are in series. It's better to have redundancy. You can have redundant DNS (multiple nameservers), but you can't have a redundant registrar (to my knowledge) I always chose different DNS because registrars normally suck at DNS, feature-wise.
- technion 3y agoIt's just a weirdly worded recommendation. A few years back, Cloudflare and Amazon did DNS but didn't sell domains or didn't sell your TLD or to your region. And in general, places that were regarded as reasonably good at selling domains didn't have anything in the way of an enterprise grade DNS service. You would go to Namecheap or Porkbun or something and get a reasonable domain they had nothing like the functionality you'd get by putting DNS somewhere better. It was well established for a long time as a fact you don't mix these roles, it's only recently that decent players started doing both.
