4.) Vanity nameserver.

Those are my reasons, I'm sure other people have other reasons.

Check out http://www.ultradns.com, they have tons of information on the benefits of using managed dns service.
sorry..... I must be dumb or something... I still don't understand.

1.) I'm never not in control of my domains. I can change any detail of them in an instant.
2.) If you have a good host/server, (and I mean GOOD... not some bullshit making claims they can't keep) this shouldn't be an issue at all.
3.) See #2
4.) From what I understand, these dns *services* make you select one of their nameservers to use, correct? How is that a vanity nameserver.... unless you happen to like one that they happen to have.

Sorry..... I just don't understand how this is beneficial. I wouldn't trust my domains to some $2 dollar (or worse... free) dns service, hoping that they get it right. I think I'd buy dns software and run dns myself before I took that step.

but nevertheless..... good luck in your quest.
