why use 3rd party DNS - eg., ZoneEdit.com?

[Alan Dayley]

Or, your ISP charges large setup fees and significant monthly fees to
provide the service.  My personal ISP wanted $45 setup and an extra $8 a
month just for email aliasing.  With easyDNS I get all the aliasing I want
plus domain forwarding plus other features plus domain name registration
for $55 a year.  I save money.
