[OT] Hosting a DNS

Hello all,

What do you think is the main reason or the importance of hosting your
own DNS when your ISP and/or Domain Registrar can host it for you for
FREE?

Normally if you are going to host your own DNS for your organization,
ideally you need to run it at least on two (2) different machines
connected at least to two (2) different ISPs.

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

GNUbie
