Just a quick not for those looking for every last performance increase…

We found that Moving from GoDaddy/WildWest Domains DNS to Amazon’s Route 53 knocked 75ms off of our DNS look up (112 ms down to 27ms) That may not seem like much but most our pages load in under a second so it is 7%

Also we found that using Weighted round robin is a great way to test performance of GAE vs AWS vs azure.

They don’t yet offer Split Horizon or GEO rules which is too bad, but we were quite happy with the move, and it seems to help with traffic from international locations a lot.

What? GoDaddy? Never thought a guy with 100k-day website clients would even consider a godaddy hosted domain in the first place. This gotta be a joke.

Wild west domains provides DNS to sites that do Million plus a day, and when you look at amount of downtime they have had over the last 5 years no one has a better track record in the DNS Space.

No Joke.
