Microtech DNS Hosting
I was looking for an independent DNS service provider for my domains for several reason. First, setting up DNS by hand is a pain. Second, my server ISP DNS service is inflexible (can't set up SPF records, for instance). Thirdly, I don't have, need or want 3+ separate DNS in differently locations to manage.
I've previously used Gradwell at work and found them very helpful, reliable and their web interface powerful and very usable. However, at £100 entry into their DNS service, it was too expensive. Lots of searching later I found Microtech who, for £35 for 10 domains, are a fair bit cheaper. Their control panel is also very usable, and comprehensive, plus they offer 4 name servers with 3 in the UK and 1 in the USA to ensure you avoid single points of failure. There's even a handy SPF generator.
More than that, having set up one more of my domains with them I found one of the name servers was refusing to respond. I contacted them via the support form and within 30 minutes the problem had been fixed, and that was at 22:00hrs. I like fast, effective service like that. Highly recommended so far.
