I have to agree with Evan on this: it is better NOT to have your domain
registrar the
same as your host.

 If your hosting company doesnt do this, you should consider switching

Speaking of zoneedit, I have been with them for many years, and they were
reliable.
I also used them to provide dynamic DNS for the test servers I use.

However, last December, both the primary and secondary DNS for my domains
were down.
A friend who use them (but different name server) was not affected.

Upon contacting them, they said they know and working on it. One of their
response
had the gall to say "please buy a third name server from us".

I ended up switching to my ISPs DNS servers.
