I’ve fielded a handful of queries from members about the coming DNS usage quotas. Some have looked at the “query usage” links beside their domain names and are surprised at the numbers they are seeing. One thing to be aware of is that we’ve discovered that the January numbers were tabulated incorrectly and are too […]

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. The changes will be as follows; WAS remote1.easydns.com 216.246.59.66 remote2.easydns.com 209.200.141.4 IS NOW remote1.easydns.com 205.234.220.154 remote2.easydns.com 209.200.187.4 This will not impact name service resolution, although if you are a secondary customer and are using a DNS server that can not accept netblock assignments into the […]

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 […]
If the ns3 problem is still causing you trouble, read this
We’ve changed the glue record in the roots for ns3.easydns.org to reference a different node while we debug the data syncing issue. Some queries are still coming in owing to DNS cache issues. If you recently updated your zone and that update has not been reflected in ns3.easydns.org then you could also consider removing ns3.easydns.org […]
