In an effort to continue providing you with a rock solid service we’ve changed the IP (and moved the service) of mailout.easydns.com The new IP is: 64.68.200.141 The old system will be kept online for a couple of days longer and we will allow it to dequeue all its mail before shutting it down.

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.
