ISP Suggestions...(was Re: Re:Help With Home Server)

[Brian K Garel]

Hi All,

I am looking to stop giving Ted Roger$ all my money and was looking around for a decent service.  I saw Jay mention istop.com and was curious if anyone else has any other suggestions.  I'm up in Newmarket so I should have access to pretty much anything.  Keys here are Price, reliability, and they don't care if you're running servers.....oh yeah....and the support deparment must know something more than how to spell dns!  LOL

Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Brian K. Garel

When you register your domain (domain.com/ca) you will have to specify 
which DNS servers will have the zone of authority (ZOA, IIRC). Whatever 
that server specifies is what will go. I do not believe you -have- to 
tell Istop, as they should see that domain as a seperate entity from 
what they have recorded (jay.tor.istop.com). You can have multiple DNS 
names for one machine.

All this said, please differ if someone answers with more authority than I.
