My websites, issue tracker and source control were all offline recently following a power failure. I was surprised that all their DNS servers were located in a single location but after looking around this seems to be the norm.

I’m going to transfer from my current registrar anyway as their customer service is pretty poor but with I’d still have the single point of failure issue with my new one.

It hadn’t occurred to me to use a dedicated DNS service but I think it’s well worth looking into.

But, when the main site is down It will send traffic to a mirrored site on another host or to a static page informing people the site is down.

I also love the that is my MX record times out for mail delivery it will accept all incoming mail and forward it to another mail provider so I don’t loose any e-mail.

If you are business you should really consider a DNS provider tha is not your Domain Registrar or your Hosting Company. Also, you should have your ZoneFiles mirrored at your hosting company just incase the DNS provider goes done. You can quickly update the DNS record to point to them while the DNS provider issues are resolved.
