DNSSEC now available in Beta

DNSSEC is now available in beta across all service levels (on the new platform).

You need to enable the "beta" flag under your Personal Info section and then after you do the DNSSEC link will appear in the "Advanced" line of your Domain Overview module.

There are still some items we need to work on:

  • Key rollover is not (yet) automatic, but there is a 1-click rollover mechanism
  • We still need to finish key expiry notifications
  • No hooks into Domain Lookaside Verification (DLV) databases at this time, since the .org zone is already signed and the .com, .net and .ca

The GFC Succinctly Summed Up for What it Was

I have made the case on numerous occasions that the Global Financial Crisis was not a “failure of capitalism” or “free markets”. I’m reading a great little book called Shakedown Socialism by Russian emigre Oleg Atbashian which I think sums …… Read the rest

easyDNS and IPv6 Deployment

We're getting a lot of questions on this, and you may find this hard to believe but it seems like some people are getting stirred up by the media  reports on  the imminent IPv4 depletion.

IPv4 depletion isn't as huge a deal as some media outlets make it out to be. It's not like peak oil, or the ozone layer, or Dec 21st 2012 or anything like that. Your web host or your DNS provider do not "burn through" a /24 of IPv4 every day and when the address space runs out, we'll all start going dark and falling off … Read the rest

Additional Mailbox Pricing for easyMail

Now that we've made webmail for easyMail available we've been getting asked more often about the pricing on additional boxes. Recall that all DNS Pro level domains come bundled with 10 easyMail IMAP boxes, which is quite frankly, nuts. It should be more like 5, but oh well.
