A client has been hosting their MX Record for Google Apps with a web hosting service. The MX record has been handled by the web hosting service too. They are moving their web site to a new hosting service. So the question has come up, is it better to host the MX Record with Network Solutions or the new web hosting service? The arguments either way so far, have been that if they are with the web hosting service they have CPANEL and support is good to help if needed. The other argument has been that the MX Record should be hosted by Network Solutions who is hosting the DNS for their domain, because is for some reason the web hosting service was down, e-mail for the company would still work. Also, in the future if the web site is moved to yet another web hosting service, e-mail will not be impacted because Network Solutions would be hosting the MX Record.

Anyone have experience either way or thoughts?
