The funny thing is that they used a bunch of lines straight from Palin’s Couric interview.

Our DNS for Fanzter.com is hosted at DreamHost. This is my last test:
Needless to say, DNS is moving away from DreamHost. I’ve already moved it, and we should be up as soon as DNS expires.
Update: We’re back up.

Ugh. At least you’re back up. Not sure if you guys are a RoR shop (since you are still in super-top secret-stealthy-mode)but I’d be curious to learn more about your hosting situation if you are. I am super frustrated on deploying RoR apps to my host and I hear other hosts aren’t too much better. Actually let me re-phrase. I’m not so much interested in Fanzter per se as I am in deploying any RoR to a host. You wrote about this a while back. Any knew info? For the record…GoDaddy is bah-rutal for RoR!!

So are you using a DNS service now? Looks like DynDNS. Just curious if you jumped at the first thing you knew of, or if you were familiar with different DNS services and chose them for a reason.

J? Gill,
We’re using RoR for part of Fanzter.com and WordPress. Our site is still hosted at DreamHost for now, but that’s not going to remain that way for long. We’re either moving to another dedicated host, Amazon EC2, or something else for the Fanzter corporate site.
Our first app will be hosted on a dedicated platform for obvious reasons, rather than a simple shared account like we’re using for Fanzter.com. EC2 is in the running, as is Rails Engine and a number of other Rails specific hosts.
David, I’ve used DynDNS in a non-mission-critical capacity for years, including accessing my home network, source control at my home office, etc. We were looking into them anyway in case we go with EC2, and it’s only $25 for a year so I moved the corporate domain over. Took 20 minutes and then just waiting for the Root servers to update.
I did look into a number of other services, including those recommended on the EC2 forums as well as by friends and ended up staying with DynDNS. No IP, EasyDNS, among others. All seemed decent. DynDNS has a good footprint, a decent price (though not the best), and the trust factor, especially in the face of this downtime, was huge.
