[NCLUG] Nameserver Hosting

[Mike Jensen]

I would also second dyndns.org ....I think it cost like $50 a year for 
just nameserver hosting.  But I have used them for both dynamic dns and 
nameservers.  And they seem to do fine too.  I have used GKG as a 
registar and they did awesome too.  But never tried there nameservers.
