Pricing and Availability

Q: Why should I do my own DNS?
A:
1. Cost: Many people find that their DNS service providers are costing them a large amount of money, especially if they need to make regular changes.
2. Reaction Time: Even if your costs are reasonable, many DNS providers can take a long time to make requested changes to your DNS. Handling your own DNS removes that problem.
3. Responsibility: Many people have had bad experiences with having an outside party control their DNS. Service outages, bad configurations, and over burdened DNS servers can all cause problems.
4. Security: Many people are understandably wary of potential security risks. Handling your own DNS allows you to take a greater measure of control of your online security.
