DNS hosting options?

[Dylan]

@Dylan - just to be aware, such compraisons don't make any sense in case of authoratative DNS services as you never talk directly to the our servers (your public DNS does). The most important factor is uptime/SLA. You can take a look on those pages to see the results - https://cloudharmony.com/provider/rage4 and https://cloudharmony.com/status-of-dns-for-rage

I agree it's not the singular most important thing, but all else being equal 85 extra ms is 85 extra ms, regardless of whether it's added on by a local resolver, recursive resolver, root server, or the authoritative nameserver.

@Dylan - not exactly, the 85ms is between their test server and our PoP. In case of real scenario, if you use Google DNS for example, the latency between Google and us is minimal, usually few ms
