This is workable for small sites, but are you really equipped to deal with a denial of service attack? There are plenty of small DNS providers (Zerigo comes to mind) that can't even stay up during attacks.
- pilif 13y agoI would assume that sites affected by a Network Solutions downtime would qualify as small(ish) sites because the big ones have other solutions anyways. Also, it's much easier to deal with a DOS on DNS than with a DOS on your app servers. If you can handle it for your app servers, you'll be able to handle if for DNS. If not, well, then you're down anyways.
- dsl 13y agoFYI, Zerigo DNS is a joke. They have a few boxes at SoftLayer and Linode. See my comment on their last outage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5922707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5922707
