After EveryDNS and EditDNS's outage, I have finally got my act together to have this redundant and free DNS running for some of my domains. I know both EveryDNS and EditDNS have 4 geographically separated servers, however during the event when the vendor is targeted for DDoS, I am still suffering downtime when their servers stuggle to stay alive. Therefore, instead of having your zone resiting on only one free DNS provider, you can get your domain hosted by both of them. Therefore just in case all servers of one provider get DDoS'ed, your domain can still stay visible on the net as the servers from the other provider are still answering requests.

Is EditDNS dead? Their website is not responding, nor are their 4 DNS servers. Since the DDoS attack at EveryDNS late last year, I have moved some of my domains to EditDNS, another free DNS provider that I have not yet had a chance to review. It is actually the first complete outage I have observed from EditDNS, and with all 4 servers out of reach, you wonder what is happening to them. Another DDoS?

As I have suggested in my previous post that it might be a good idea to build secondary DNS utilising other free DNS providers. Have I taken any action? No. Hopefully this EditDNS incident would teach me some lessons.
