http://serverfault.com – I previously had a domain hosted on a dedicated server at the local university. We moved the hosting to a dedicated dreamhost server. In Dreamhost, I set up ums.org to be fully hosted by Dreamhost. Here are my settings: Record (ums.org zone) Type Value A 64.90.38.183 NS ns1.dreamhost.com. NS ns2.dreamhost.com. NS ns3.dreamhost.com. ftp A 64.90.38.183 ssh A 64.90.38.183 www A 64.90.38.183 Abo (HowTos)

Stories similar to Nameserver switch and domain name propagation

In light of the GoDaddy outage we updated our name server list for our domain to include an additional name server provider. The list looks something like this:

ns61.domaincontrol.com ns54.domaincontrol.com ns1.dreamhost.com ns2.dreamhost.com

Both Godaddy and Dreamhost have zone entries to handle the A and MX records.

Background:

I am a programmer. I still have a lot to learn about hosting and DNS. I am using a cheap shared hosting provider (DreamHost) to host a client website. They have decided that they would like to manage their own account.

Move From Dreamhost to Linode or Slicehost or Rackspace or Amazon or ... ?

I am now hosting at Dreamhost VPS and everything is always down, can you tell me if things would be better with a cloud at Linode, Rackspace or any other ? What is the cheapest and best service for you ? Also I would like a server that is managed, as I am not an expert...

Thank you so much for your help.

This week comes the news about Media Temple and its plans with Dell and Morphlabs to give customers their own “private cloud,” consisting of a souped up Flash-filled server, complete with all the fixings for automating the mind bending complexity when adopting a new infrastructure.
