Question about erminating Manged DNS service and alternative options for existing forwards?

We have a couple of internal DNS severs. We also HAD our www.website.com and pop mail hosted by Hostway.  We no longer have them managing our website nor administering our pop mail.  I have an internal exchangeserver 2003 behind my network (yeah i know behind the 2007 curve/hoopla) and our website is now maintained and hosted by a different design company.  Hostway claims that if terminate our contract with them and just keep the domain registrations with them we loose the access to their Domain Managment section where I have our site and my MX record forwarding to the public addresses of my website and exchange.  I am trying to figure out an alternative without breaking functionality of these two resources?  Any suggestions.  The web-design company we are now using has no DNS management services, just their internal servers they say, and I don't believe using my Internal DNS managers will work/is best practice?

Any clarity and/or options/input would be appreciated in how I can move forward in dealing with this!!

Thx

The original post mentioned they will loose domain management functionality, so my recommendation would be to move to another provide that allows you that function in all there services.

Companies like GoDaddy in the US will allow such operations.
