Re: Hosting reseller question

I hear this horror story time and time again.  When someone uses a 3rd
party registrar nothing can be solved.  I always use Network
Solutions/Verisign.  I have a DNS record change boom it is fixed.  All the
other resellers don't change DNS records across the Internet,  Only
Internic/Network Solution/Verisign sends out the master hosts files.
