- "companies this size still use default registrar DNS like GoDaddy or Namecheap, which lacks the reliability, security, and APIs needed" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Managed DNS)
- "keeping your DNS and your domain registration in the same bucket violates the principle of separation of duties" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Managed DNS)
