I've had my domain for.... quite a few years. I own it from Network Solutions 
for at least the next 10 years.
I've always had a hosting company ( ok, so I used to run windows:) that  TAKES 
CARE of that STUFF..

I understand the concept, I used to do the DNS for AT&T in our own little 
subnet, adding machines & records, but that was 15 years ago... forgotten 
most of what I thought I knew..

if I dropped my domain hosting company, you are saying I would go back to 
network Solutions to get my MX records done? or my ISP...
