I didn't know something like DNS made easy existed. That would be a great way to have the sites quickly rerouted in case of the primary server going down.

They're great for general DNS hosting too. I buy domains from my favourite registrar but use DNS Made Easy to host the DNS records. They have multiple nameservers all over the world, so sites resolve fast, load quicker the first time, and don't go down when your registrar's nameservers choke. It's not that expensive either.

@Nick: here they say DNS failover (I think the service you syggest in DNS Made Easy) is not recommended: serverfault.com/questions/60553/… What do you think?

@Marco They're right to point out that it's not foolproof, but it's worked great for me for a couple of small web apps I manage.

By the way, Stack Exchange uses DNS failover too. Primary data center is in New Yourk, secondary in Oregon. meta.stackexchange.com/a/231138/238706 meta.stackexchange.com/q/207653/238706
