Reasonable perspective. But I suspect you have to spend some time thinking about it anyway. Like, which provider to choose, whether their service is fast/reliable enough, whether you can make changes you need when you need them.

I'm beginning to sound like a know-it-all asshole, so I should stop talking. But, I think it's probably a mistake to outsource DNS to a third party, if your entire business is on the web. Understanding DNS is pretty fundamental to troubleshooting and avoiding problems with network service. In fact, when people ask me to recommend books the O'Reilly DNS and BIND book is always at the top of the list. DNS is important enough that you should spend at least an hour a year thinking about it.
