[02:15] <ShawnR> kinda off topic, but has anyone here used hosted DNS? got any suggestions?

[02:16] <ShawnR> I use zoneedit, but they no longer do free accounts and I need to add another.  Their practices seem a tad shady for if your "credits" run out (and reports of no notifications until it has ran out), but it is $1/mo, so $12/yr and dyn.com is $30/yr
[02:42] <zoopster> ShawnR: google dns is free
[02:47] <ShawnR> zoopster: not for my home computer to resolve addresses, but for the internet to resolve to my hosted website, they do that as well?
[02:50] <zoopster> ShawnR: ah...you need to host an authoritative name server?
[02:51] <zoopster> ShawnR: your domain registrar won't do that?
[02:56] <ShawnR> i can't recall specifics, but the host i'm using does like zero DNS and i had to handle that all outside of them, and for whatever reason, godaddy didn't allow complete control
[02:56] <ShawnR> no nameservers on my hosted site
[02:58] <ShawnR> godaddy either wants to host your site themselves, or will only fwd/park or you use your own nameserver (NORMALLY kept at the host)
[02:58] <zoopster> ah...ok
[02:59] <zoopster> I use dotster and could use their dns management for 10/yr per domain
[02:59] <zoopster> but I use my own dns
[03:00] <ShawnR> yeah, i have webhosting for free (collegue at previous employment provided free to all ppl he worked with)
[03:00] <ShawnR> but they have no DNS management there, so i used zoneedit... which was fine.... till now since they charge $
[03:00] <zoopster> bummer
[03:01] <ShawnR> i just paid for 12 credits (1 yr) for $!2... and now it looks like if i ever change the name records, each update is an additional 1 ($1) credit to publish the update
[03:01] <ShawnR> but i need to get it up and running, now i have ~12 months to find a better solution
