This task is in the list of maemo.org development proposals, please help planning and getting it ready for a sprint. Put a note on the talk page if you're interested in helping work on this task.
Please see the talk page for discussion.

DNS for maemo.org is currently hosted at Nokia. In January 2010, there was a multi-DAY outage in part caused by DNS issues. Apparently it takes a "long" time to get DNS changes for maemo.org through Nokia.

There are literally hundreds of DNS providers, many of which could do the job for a service which should run 100% of the time. Updates can be done immediately via web interfaces. The cost is very minimal.

In sum, maemo.org should switch to a new DNS host.
