I use Roller Network dns and mail services. They're comparatively inexpensive, extremely reliable, easy to manage their services online and easy people to work with. A cron job on my mail server updates my primary DNS on their servers whenever my dynamic IP changes.
Here at home I use an Untangle VM as my router/firewall. I run it as a virtual machine under VMware ESXi. It sits in a closet next to my cable modem. I have other virtual machines on there as well for a mail server, NTP server, Meteohub weather station server, NAS server, etc. Saves energy having them all run on the same physical low power server. Makes administration and backups easier too.
