As I exposed on a previous post, I was planning to replicate my DNS server using FreeDNS as a secondary nameserver for redundancy. My main concern was how to overcome the 20 subdomain limit advertised by FreeDNS.
I thought about creating a new DNS view to allow FreeDNS to transfer a subset of my subdomains (the twenty most “critical” by my criteria). But apparently, there’s no need to do so if you just use the DNS backup feature
Thanks FreeDNS !

I’ve recently received an email from my (now old) registrar asking me to renew my domain name. I decided to compare with others and I found Dreamhost. This is my first registrar to registrar domain transfer and the transition has been a bit troublesome :/ Why transfer the domain to another registrar if your current one just works ok ? Answer: More “advantages” for less price… keeping my comparison table short (there are more goodies to take into account):
- Gandi: 14€, Dreamhost: 7€
- Gandi: No hosting, Dreamhost: Incredible hosting possibilities
- Gandi: No referral program, Dreamhost: $97 new clients you enroll to DH
- Gandi: Poor and slow support, Dreamhost: Awesome and fast support
