I was moving registration and dns hosting to ventra. They didn't
have the ability for me to set up the dns hosting before the domain
transfer went through.<br>
So I had to do the transfer, then wait by my email account and when
the email came in quick like a bunny set all the DNS up again.<br>
Rather a large fail from an otherwise decent company I felt.<br>
<br>
Is DNS hosting such a load that giving away a week of it free during
the transfer process is going to break the bank?<br>
