Budget DNS hosting with large amount of queries?
I'm looking for budget DNS hosting (no, not Cloudflare) to host about 20 domains. I'm using Zerigo's free DNS service on 2 domains right now (50k monthly queries) and have had 13k queries in 3 days. I was thinking of getting Zerigo Essential 1 (or even Plus 1) but I'm not sure 1m queries will cover it to be honest. These 2 domains are not the highest traffic domains I have - probably somewhere in the middle. Are there any other quality DNS hosts on a low-end budget?
And no, I'd rather not host my own DNS servers

This is PointHQ pricing:
But they don't mention about queries limit / quota
I'm looking for US DNS hosting, forgot to mention that
You mean the server or company?
The server - I'm looking into PointHQ now but the price right there is in euros (or is it pounds?)
Errrr... that's Pound I believe.
these are their servers:
dns1-5.pointhq.com
try ping / traceroute
Nothing to really write home about, all of them seemed to be above 90ms. Also, $75/yr seems to be a little more than I was looking to spend - it makes more sense to go with Zerigo at $40/yr for 30 domains
Hmm yeah I forgot you're looking at budget offer. $75/year is definitely not IMO
Amazon Route 53:)?
Or if not, a combination of HE, GoDaddy and Namecheap:)
And both Godaddy and Enom provides premium offsite DNS:)
I should mention that I'll be managing several of my clients DNS so something like GoDaddy/Namecheap won't work (I don't own their domains - they simply point their nameservers to what I ask them to and I take care of the rest)
Get couple of lEB and setup your own DNS?
Not interested in doing that myself at this time, I'd rather just use a reliable/reputable DNS service
use those anycast dns. like softlayer, godaddy, or dnsmadeeasy
+1 for dnsmadeeasy they are awesome
I second this.
