I have been a very satisfied EasyDNS customer for about a decade and
concur with the article. Nothing is perfect, but the rapid response and
support I've received have always been top-notch.

Indeed. "Cloud" outside of references to mists and objects in the sky is =
a
completely meaningless term for operators. In fact, it has made it =
harder
to differentiate between services (which I'm sure is the point).
As an operator (knowing how things can be subject to accelerated =
roll-out
when $business feels they are missing out), I wonder if a lot of these
"cloud" service bumps-in-the-road aren't just a symptom of not being =
fully
baked in.
