“On August 07, 2010 DNS Made Easy was the target of a large multi Gb/s attack against all of our name servers. The attack started at 8:00 UTC and was fully mitigated by 14:00 UTC. During this time period there were regional outages from some or all of our name servers. Regional outages means that certain regions of the world were not able to resolve your DNS and other regions of the world were resolving normally. When all name servers were not reachable a DNS query would have been lost, when some name servers were not reachable then DNS performance would have been slower than normal but still operational.
The regional downtime was in very small periods but it still did affect the overall resolution for all of our client’s DNS.”

I was affected and this tells me DNS Made Easy does not have the bandwidth capacity and capabilities that I thought they did. Looking elsewhere as I can not afford a second a down time.

DNSMadeEasy is awesome. I use their service and it is very reliable. Price is competitive and affordable for small and personal user.
Highly recommended.

1) Their website is very ugly, hard to manage.
2) Their network is good since they offer AnyCast.
3) Their support sucks.

If you don’t need support ever, go for it… Otherwise, stay away.

I have been using DNS Made Easy for a few years now and I couldn’t be happier. I have used a few of their competitors and moved away from them due to overblown pricing, performance issues, and outages. DNS Made Easy says that they have never been down, and I believe them because my DNS has never been down and I haven’t even seen a single hiccup.

I wouldn’t call their interface ugly. I would call it functional. Anyone who finds their control panel hard to use probably doesn’t know much about DNS.

When I make a change to any record in any of my domains that change is instantly propagated to all of their servers.

DNS Made Easy has servers anycast all over the world, so my customers in the US and EU all see excellent performance.

The price of their service is much lower than I could reach running my own servers and they are dead bang reliable. I can’t ask for anything more from a DNS provider.

We used DNS Made Easy at a previous employer and I was pleased with the service enough to try it for my personal sites. I’ve been using it for over a year now and couldn’t be happier.

Their control panel may not be the sexiest, but the service sure kicks ass. There’s never been any downtime and response times are great (I monitor it with Pingdom).

The service is great, so I’ve never needed any phone support. At $14.95 a year I wouldn’t expect any either.

Great service at a great price, you can’t beat them.

I really love DNS Made Easy. I have used them for over 7 years and I have never had one second of downtime. They are one of the only providers I know that has 100% DNS uptime history.
I wish there web interface was a little more updated, that is the only marks that I can take off for them.
You do have to pay for their phone support if you are in their plans of $5 per month or less (which makes perfect sense). Not sure how you would expect anyone qualified to talk to you for $5 per month.

One of the best DNS services that I have ever seen. They are easy to manage and they do everything correct.
When I open support tickets they are replied very quickly and accurately.
