It relieves you of the burden of configuring and managing a service (or server) by yourself. The uptime and SLA would definitely be improved; I'm saying this after two days of random Internet access in UPB :-) I do however recommend that, at a certain point in time, one should install anc configure some sort of a "personal service" (e-mail, web, DNS). If not for anything but to better get the feeling of the advantages and disadvantages, the problems and solutions. And it's a great way to learn from wrong doings :-) In order to get it right, one must first get it wrong :-) Anyway, any form of delegation, outsourcing, "outtasking" is, in my opinion, beneficial. I'm still waiting for the days when SSH access to free hosted sites will be common. Maybe a small virtual machine per user. These kind of services do exist but, from what I know, they are not widespread. “Outsourcing” e-mail and DNS service is indeed, in my opinion, a good thing.

Still, I kind of prefer my old hunk o' junk for handling stuff like this, but I don't use it where productivity is needed. Reminds me of my recent downtimes.
