What happens when someone doesn't like you and decides to DDoS your DNS servers?

Though if it's only your site on the DNS Servers, they might as well just DDoS your website.

Well, what happens if someone doesn't like your registrar and DDoS' them?

Do both.

You would hope that a registrar would have better bandwidth and/or capabilities to protect against that then what you would generally have for your server(s).

You would.. but the business of being a registrar is bout managing zone records to be served out by the root/regional nameserver infrastructure, which your registrar may not even have much of a part in.

If they run additional business in hosting DNS, websites, email, and so on, as is common - that's really got nothing to do with the setup they need to act as a registrar.
