stsquad has pulled the plug on his webmail; that or he's having a temporary unintentional outage. Either way it has motivated me to finally get off my arse[1] and think about what I'm going to do when Bennee.com goes down For The Forseeable Future.
Bennée has been hosting my (largely disused) website and serving my (vastly more essential) email for a good 2-3 years now, as well as operating a nameserver for both those features. Web space is easy enough to come by; if all else fails I can switch back to Compsoc by one means or another. Ditto mail - I'm planning to attempt some sort of sleight-of-electrickery that will result in my andysdrawings.co.uk mail proceeding directly to a Gmail account, or some such. No, the sticking point is the nameserver.
We do a bit of nameservery at work - and I will probably ask around there at some point - but I don't want to be beholden to a place of employment and I strongly suspect we have a limited number of domains (or even pay per domain). What I really want here is a friend who runs their own NS, or failing that, advice on what commercial DNS is reliable and cheap. The one we use at work is www.zoneedit.com, which seems pretty good, and looks like it might be free for a single (<200MB p/a) domain. (I don't think my domain can be particularly high-traffic, unless I were to start hosting my webcomic there.)
So, anyway ... that's what lies in front of me. Any ideas?
[1] Actually thinking doesn't involve the arse, does it? Nor does writing about it on an internet journal. So I suppose I am still technically arse-bound.
