  I disagree Jim.

  I pay $60/year to DNS Made Easy for 25 domains and 10M queries per month,
  and I get amazing service, a great UI, an API, globally Anycasted, and
  with a single exception of about 6 hours of intermittent problems 6 years
  ago due to a 50Gbps DDoS, literally 100% uptime.

  And they were super transparent about it all too and paid out an SLA

  I get SO much more than I pay for. I would say DME is the end-all-be-all
  of value and affordability.

  Given my experience over the last 9 years of being a DME customer, I know
  that amazing hosted DNS exists and can be affordable. I'd trust no one
  else with my business DNS service.

  Not even me.
