Hosting companies face many challenges today, from differentiating their services in a crowded market with decreasing margins, to an increasing pressure to defend against growing sets of attacks against their infrastructure. As more and more services drift into the cloud, up-time is becoming one of the most critical factors for customers choosing a web host. A hosting company’s record of reliability can often be the deciding factor for a customer to choose one service over another.
New service platform provides corporations and resellers with a flexible way to improve the reliability of their DNS network
DUBLIN, IRELAND – 17 June 2010- Today Afilias, a leading provider of Internet infrastructure services, announced the expansion of its Managed DNS services with the availability of its new FlexDNSSM Platform. The FlexDNS Platform now provides Afilias’ DNS customers with three different options for managing their DNS over Afilias’ network: A Web-based portal, AXFR (DNS zone transfer), or an Application Programming Interface (API).
The barriers to DNSSEC adoption are quickly disappearing. There are nearly 20 top-level domains that have already deployed DNSSEC including generic TLDs like .org and .gov. This July, the DNS root will also be signed, and will begin validating DNSSEC queries. At this point, the decision for remaining TLDs to deploy DNSSEC is really no longer a question. In fact, as it stands today, all new TLDs approved by ICANN will be required to have DNSSEC deployed at launch.
Afilias Managed DNS Services will be at Booth #622 at the 2010 Comptia Breakway Conference. Join us in San Antonio to learn how to ensure 100% up-time reliabililty for your web presence with Afilias' DNS. Afilias VP, John Kane will be speaking as part of the "Security in the Cloud" Panel to be held on August 12th at 11am.
