looking at managed DNS

knowlesy · 4 May 2012 at 00:02

Im looking for a managed DNS service for 100+ domains with readily expansion for more, ideally, it has to have a simplistic interface or even the ability to configure privileges if possible, but the number 1 requirement is its reliability now this is in its infancy of researching for a project Im working on but I'm looking at:

http://dyn.com
http://www.ultradns.com
http://www.zerigo.com/

can anyone point me in which they use / prefer and why or if there any others worth me contacting ?

I must note I have considered cloudflare however I'm not so sure....as its still IMO a start up and I need something a bit more robust, again if you can sway me I'm open ears.

100+ domains? what in god's name are you doing?

For that volume and to guarantee ease of expansion you could almost look at hosting your own name servers and managing it all yourself. Rent a server in london, another in berlin/hong kong/ wherever, run sync'd DNS on them. Jobs a goodun.

That would be ridiculously expensive compared to a cloud DNS solution.

Amazon Route 53... Rackspace Cloud DNS... there are so many now.
