I do this myself off a Linode. It's neat to understand how this stuff actually works, it expands the imagination of what's possible. I like being able to quickly stand up a subdomain for development / testing / staging. I really want to get an email server running, I think the ability to spark up email addresses and servers for automated reporting or file distribution opens up some useful possibilities.

As it goes, Linode has an amazing DNS service bundled with their instances - replicated between all their international datacenters. If you host with Linode I can't see why you wouldn't use it, unless you are just futzing/curious to roll your own.

  +1 for Linode's DNS service. The best part is that you can access it via API too.

  I'm sure it's awesome, I like Linode a lot, but the point is to learn how all this works.
