I promised a salesperson and @robmonster that I'd eventually transfer from Uniregistry and NameBright, after winning DropCatch auctions, over to Epik because of not only their low prices, but their willingness to support free speech and welcome GAB after much controversy (with the latter being the deciding factor as I am a huge proponent of the U.S. Constitution).
However, I can't seem to keep that promise. The DNS with Epik is much slower than with Dynadot.
While there are services such as DNS Made Easy and Route 53 that I could use, it's much harder and time-consuming to set up a domain. Epik would win me over, even if they charged more per domain that enrolled in a "premium" DNS service (which could proudly be displayed on the homepage as an upsell and feature over all others if a corporate contract is entered), if they could use either of these two with API calls to make DNS changes over what is used now.
It would be nice to have an all-in-one registrar that had much quicker DNS lookups, by using a 3rd party, to use on any one domain within the registrar's control panel as opposed to going back and forth for modifications of records.
So if you're out there, Rob, get this done and all (which isn't much anymore, but all domains with a website would definitely enroll in a premium DNS) my business is yours! I'm sure if you explained the benefits of using your premium DNS service in the mobile era, which could save consumers money with a corporate contract over opening an individual account at DNS Made Easy or Amazon AWS, more may follow.
Cloudflare integration may be something to look into as well, although it doesn't interest me, it might be to a lot others.
For now, I have to stick with Dynadot as that DNS lookup at Epik is a killer (even 5ms makes a difference).
Thanks for listening.
