They have been going since 2001 and is backed by OpenDNS (www.opendns.com) - another very cool free DNS service. They host close on 110 000 domains so they are not just a fly by night :) EveryDNS is a pretty trustworthy service.

I host all my mail on Google and it is awesome. As for EveryDNS, it seems really cool. Just not too sure how much trust I could put into a free service like that. What if they randomly shut down one day? I suppose you would catch it and then switch nameservers, but it would mean downtime... @Prieur

As you say, this is more a guide for people not using a control panel like cPanel. A lot of cloud and cluster hosting services like MediaTemple have their own custom hosting panels though. @Wogan

That is unless they have issues with Google indexing their mail. Then you never have to worry about moving it around. As for name servers, my favourite is definitely EveryDNS. Pretty awesome free service. Just change records and your good to go, no moving name servers etc. I always advise people to host their mail on Google Apps.
