For a number of years, I've been happy with my hosting provider, 1&1.
I've only really got two complaints; a) Lack of IPv6 support. Hopefully that will come in time, and b) They only support 10 sub domains for each DNS domain you have with them.
It's the second that looks like it may begin to bite soon. Can anyone recommend a reliable DNS provider that will allow me an order of magnitude more subdomains (*) if I move my DNS to them?
bytemark. You get complete control of your domain. No stupid restrictions.
If you have one of their hosting packages (I have a VM there) then you can host as many of your domains as you wish on their nameservers. If not then you can pay them for DNS service alone. But beware. Do NOT move registration of an existing domain from 1and1 to bytemark (or anyone else for that matter) unless you are prepared for a break in service. Simply redelgate the domain from 1and1 servers to bytemark. Leave the registration with 1and1.
I made this mistake last year with one of my domains and lost use of the domain for around 10 days (read the registration rules carefully).

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
