STATUS :: Verizon blocking some client mail
Verizon appears to be blocking some forwarded mail for clients who are using the new interface. We have established a work-around to keep mail flowing smoothly, but some users with mail being directed to Verizon addresses may have experienced mail delays before this was determined, and may see some lag in mail being delivered via [...]
How to link multiple domains to a website
Nick from the U.K asks: My company recently purchased a couple domains and we want those to link to our current website. Eg. example.com will transfer to example.co.uk instantly. How can I do this?

Emails about: Intellectual property rights Regarding "yourname"
It is not uncommon to get unsolicited email from some party representing themselves as an overseas trademark or domain registry that has received a request from some local party that they feel may infringe upon your trademark. You can consider these just a form of marketing email (spam) or a elaborate way to entice you [...]
Big Changes Coming to easyDNS
We will soon be launching our new member interface, a ground up rewrite of the current members.easydns.com website. It has been a long time in coming, like all complex projects, it always goes over-budget and takes longer than expected. The current user interface works, but it's pretty stale. There are so many layers of upgrades, [...]
Heads-up; re-assigning IPs of remote1.easydns.com and remote2.easydns.com
We are re-assigning the IP addresses for remote1.easydns.com and remote2.easydns.com.

Power outage at the Amsterdam co-lo…
Just over an hour ago, the co-location facility we use in Amsterdam suffered a brief power outage, which resulted in two of our nameservers being unexpectedly restarted: ams1.easydns.com (part of the "ns1.easydns.com" Anycast cluster) ns6.easydns.net Our sysAdmins took "ams1.easydns.com" out of the "ns1.easydns.com" Anycast cluster as soon as this occurred, which means that "ns1.easydns.com" was [...]
appsto.re, a niched URL shortener for iphone apps
The other day I stumbled across http://appsto.re, a DNS client domain which is a pretty useful specialized URL shortener for iPhone apps. A good example is easyDNS' own iPhone app for easyWhois. The iTunes URL is loooooooooooooong and cumbersome, and to be honest, I can't readily remember what shortened URL I created for it on [...]
