Avoid downtime: Currently using GoDaddy's DNS? Switch DNS before transferring

Why so much love for Namecheap on here? As far as I can tell, they've simply been in the right place at the right time and done some clever marketing in response to GoDaddy's general idiocy.<p>But for a few days now, HN has almost read like a long ad for one domain registrar that doesn't look like anything particularly special. Every other link seems to go to Namecheap's blog, or some other page on their site.<p>Genuine question - I'm not trying to be a self-appointed site moderator or cheerleading for some other company (although I do use Gandi myself), I'm just genuinely interested as to why Namecheap, and not some other registrar, other than the fact that Namecheap have jumped on this particular bandwagon.

I posted this after making this "rookie" mistake myself: feel free to add www.moserware.com -&#62; 216.239.32.21 to your hosts file for the next few hours until I'm given access to change the DNS settings :)<p>I was directed to this page only after the transfer started (and thus after I could change this). Hopefully this might help others before you make the switch.

If anyone needs a free DNS service, maybe try <a href="https://entrydns.net/" rel="nofollow">https://entrydns.net/</a> that I develop in my free time with a sysadmin friend.

Good call - I forgot to do this several days ago when I switched and it introduced an unnecessary delay.

As far as I could tell, Namecheap doesn't allow uploading of zone files (GoDaddy allows you to export your DNS settings in this format). It sure would grease the slide for Namecheap (or any other provider, for that matter) if they offered this feature.

Another option is using freedns via Afraid.org. I discussed how I found this free dns provider here <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3391687" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3391687</a> I am really impressed so far...

I'm not 100% about the intricacies of how DNS works but is there no way for them to automatically mirror your DNS settings? That would make this process much much easier.

This never came up as an issue for me. I've been using DNSMadeEasy (that is, a DNS service provider different from the domain registrar) for a while.

Using GoDaddy for DNS is one of the biggest hosting mistakes you can make (short of using GoDaddy for web hosting).

I don't mean to be a jackass, but... duh? If you're using GoDaddy's nameservers, it stands to reason that you'd need to configure the new ones when namecheap isn't going to be able to point to a defunct GoDaddy account.<p>Gandi will even offer to mirror the DNS on import.
