control.
I read the following on a forum and wondered if this is a solution to the host email server downtime affecting my email. Does this actually work and does this take the email control away from the host??
“Ok, here's a suggestion. Signup for a service such as www.zoneedit.com and use them for your DNS. Contact your preferred host and ask them what DNS records you need to setup for the domain and a lot of hosts would even login to Zoneedit for you and configure it. (It only takes a few minutes)
This way, even if the host goes down your e-mail is not affected and in the case you ever need to switch hosts, you would simply change the Zoneedit side of it to point to the new servers.
If you use the hosts servers for DNS, downtime for those servers will cause your e-mail to go down, that is unavoidable.”
