I have browsed the demos of both plesk and ensim and I seem to prefer the straight-forward interface of ensim. I also like the fact that it allows unlimited domains instead of the limit of 200 that plesk has. Are there any great advantages of plesk over ensim?

On a side note, it seems if you use the server as a DNS server, that you need a secondary DNS server. For those of us with only one server, where is a good place to get secondary DNS services?

Thanks!

I think many (most?) people don't bother! It's pretty common to stick two IPs on one server and assign nameserver to each IP address (ns1, ns2) and serve away...

Well getting a 2nd Server for DNS is only advisable if you're running some BIG REVENUE generating site where each minute of downtime costs you thousands of dollars.

Else, 1 server with 2 DNS IPs would suffice. But why don't you use Rackshack.net's DNS servers? They have to be tiptop cause they're supplying this service for thousands of sites and customers.

Unless of course, you want to have your own domain as your DNS during a WHOIS lookup for reportoire purposes.
