I wanted to actually talk about this habit most people have when choosing their DNS providers. Most would probably take whatever their registrar uses. And it works for most parts.=20 I never really thought too deep into until I actually moved initially to CloudFlare (which are good) to DynDNS. I have noticed a real change in terms of responsiveness. Anycast is ^really^ good to have. =20 I would highly recommend Dyn personally but there are others like CloudFlare (Free) and AWS Route 53 (cheap enough). There are merits to using CloudFlare actually. No wonder they have seen a spike in their usage in the SMB market. Their web level firewall stuff is pretty good and they recently also allowed TLS back to originating servers. Now, I have noticed something I really cannot pin-point well enough...when I moved to CloudFlare, the SEO ranking tools all dropped for the sites. Moving away from CloudFlare to Dyn and CDN's to Fastly have really made a difference in our case. Although, I am quite actually impressed with Dyn's Traffic Manager. You can route traffic in real time over CDN's for instance.=20 --=20 | _o _ |_)o_ _ _ =20 |_|_|(_||_|_> | \|/_/_(_) - Lucius.Tel -------------------------------------- ++ People (a group that in my opinion has always attracted an undue amoun= t of ++ ++ attention) have often been likened to snowflakes.
