[TriLUG] Looking for best deal on domain name server plus dynamic dns

[Glenn Meyer]

I've been using http://www.zoneedit.com  for several years with only one 
outage that I know of in those years.  It is free up to 5 domains at a 
time.  I've been very please.

I have registered all my domains through http://www.hostica.com and I 
use them to hast a few that I don't want interrupted by dynamic IP 
issues.  I've been using them for about 5 years.  They started small but 
have grown very quickly.  Their prices are very reasonable and I've 
never experienced an outage there - even when they moved to a new 
location a few years back, it was seamless.
