Hetzner just turned off our hole domain, without contacting us first at all! All servers unreachable, 10k angry customers hammering us. All because if they receive a trademark complaint they won't contact the domain owner first and give them reasonable time to "fix" the "issue" (even 2 hours would have been enough). No, they just turn off the production server and simultaneously send an e-mail "you better respond to their complaint if you want your domain back up".

Totally unprofessional and a complete joke. Will never use them on a production system again. Always angry if they are mentioned here like they are a legitimate choice...

I always separate domain hosting from server hosting, to limit the scope of the outage. If there is a problem with the DNS, I can switch to a different domain for the server. If there is a problem with the server, I can switch to a failover server under the same domain.

Sure you can do that for some internal/private service. But how can you do that when you have a public user base who expects a service at foobar.com which has DNS issues?

You can’t, unless you build fallback domains into the protocol. But at least you can inform your users about the fallback domain instead of having to just shrug your shoulders.
