My company uses register.com for DNS hosting and we were hit by its troubles this weekend. I know there are companies that offer backup DNS services, but those seem to be aimed at companies that host their own DNS, which we're not really interested in doing at this time. Are
there mainstream DNS hosting companies that allow customers to use a second company for their backup DNS? Does register.com allow this?
DYNDNS.com is a company that does what you are looking for, to a degree. They provide a back-up DNS service but under the assumption that they are backing up your server. I should not be that difficult to setup delegation with your primary DNS provider. Why not just add multiple Names servers from multiple providers under your Domain Registration? - Michienne Dixon Network Administrator liNKCity 312 Armour Rd.
