Re: [FreeDNS] my nameservers can't be found !!

["Andre Els" <andre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I just came to the conclusion that the place that hosts this for me sucks
... its basically a reselling account with a place called kmhost.net, they
are on the NAC network in the States, but they are up to .......

Its a complete dissapointment as I have paid loads for it.

I can always use Free-DNS services as I got aels.za.net registered with some
Free-DNS servers as the nameservers , BUT the problem comes in when my
"clients" so to say wants to create subdomains and I can't go and update the
Free-DNS servers manually everytime as this is suppose to be done
automatically via the cpanel control panel.

Anyway ... I have asked them to add A-records for the 2 hosts ... I'll see
if that fixes it then ...

Cheers for the help and comments...

P.S. anyone knows about a cheap colocation facility/company in SA , or a
place that does cheap dedicated servers ?

Thanks
Andre
