DNS management

Owen Densmore
Administrator
As you can tell from recent emails, I'm doing a lot of digital house cleaning!

One issue is DNS, both registration of names and management of the DNS name servers.

I've got my registrar on RegisterGo, a HostGo company, for 6 names .. except for one .us domain which is on dotster (fortherestof.us).  My name servers are www.dnsmadeeasy.com rather than on my hosting server (joyent.com).  I do this because it gives me finer grain control of my name services, and joyent does not have a fine grain DNS service.

For example, I have disk.backspaces.net go to an entirely different server than backspaces.net.  Similarly, I have my MX records go to Postini first for filtering, then sent to backspaces.net.

Here's the question: is there a single company like godaddy or dotster or similar that provides all the DNS services?  This would include registrar, name server, and name server management like subdomains and MX records.  I'd much prefer to have everything managed by one company rather than spread out over several.

I know nothing about MX records, but I believe GoDaddy does the rest.
