DNS Hosting

[Bertalan David III]

i never did have (and still don't) have problems with granitecanyon and the
public dns.  i've probably got about 8 domains there.  i'm not much of a dns
person though, and i still can't get mail to work right :(  but i've haven't had
the time to fix that yet.  anyways, my friend just recently tried to register
his dns there, and it just wouldn't work... it was about 2 weeks until he
realized he was supposed to forward the email back to granitecanyon! no more
than 48 hours later, everything was good to go...
