Hi all,

Just started working at a new company

They have an old Windows 2000 Server being used to external DNS (ie, we can create our own external DNS records like news.mydomain.co.uk).

I'm 99% certain that most companies just use the company who they bought the domain from to do external DNS resolution.

anyway, I've been tasked at getting rid of this server and moving all the records to an external company to manage.

Has anyone done this before, I'd have thought it would be pretty simple?

Thanks!
 
Why not move over the websites that are hosting internally > externally too ? Every internal solution could be done no problem.

How many machines have you got on the network and do they log in? You still might require an internal DNS.

I use dnsmadeeasy.com for some external DNS requirements. Works fine and has some nifty stuff like failover etc if you need it. This was my primary reason for using them - but in all other respects I've never had a problem in 18 months.

You could also just use the DNS provided by the domain registrar as others have said - costs nothing usually.

DNS Made Easy seconded. Have been using them for over ten years and they have been flawless.

Using a hosted DNS provider is vastly better than using the free DNS that some registrars provide, especially when it comes to switching registrars!
