If your hosting company doesnt do this, you should consider switching hosting companies (or suffer) or do DNS (<a href="http://zoneedit.com">zoneedit.com</a>) yourself and outsource you mail to hosted gamil for example.</blockquote>
<div><br>Speaking of zoneedit, I have been with them for many years, and they were reliable.<br>I also used them to provide dynamic DNS for the test servers I use.<br><br>However, last December, both the primary and secondary DNS for my domains were down.
