All in all, as long as nothing goes wrong, zoneedit is a good service, but if something does go wrong, your on your own and you have to take the heat from your clients until zoneedit takes the time to bring the servers back online.

For a paid service zoneedit should be providing more reliable service or at least return email or FAX inquiries in emergencies.

Switched providers, never going back.

TZO for what it’s worth, no affiliation, not cheap, but they are light years better.

The entire thing has just gone to absolute shit (ns3 and ns17). None of my domains are accessible.

Stay clear of these mother f*****ers! What a f**ng terrible service.

I run a bunch of domains (paid for) with failover and load balancing.

21st of November 2009.

Multiple A records, round robin previously working perfectly for years – failover monitor makes its check and somehow round robin dies – failover switches to -error- mode.

Delete IP addresses and enter them over again – round robin starts working – just until failover does its check… Cycle repeats until worker drone feels it’s time to move to some other DNS hosting service.

Many MANY emails to support@zoneedit.com have been completely ignored.

For those looking for paid alternatives to zoneedit, I have been using enom.com for 9 years with email forwards and subdomain creation and forwarding. It costs $30 each year for domain registration and the above services. Another $8 if you want to hide your domain registration information from whois. I am not sure how well their support performs because I never had any issue needing to contact support (fingers-crossed).
