[OOTB-infra] DNS

[Heiko Robert]

Why not using the service at the hoster? It's not free (incl. org domain 
~10€/y) but reliable and allows full access and automation.
Yes - and it's a bad idea to host our own dns since this has to be 
secure and high available.
As an alternative we could use a DNS provider with webspace and email 
smart host. This would keep the primary website also high available and 
mails are send from a trusted server. I prefer smaller providers in 
europe with no free offer. This keeps the bad guys and big brother away.
