Candidate.domains Launches Political Domain Registration Website

Montgomery, NY (PRWEB) August 20, 2014

Political candidates, campaigns and organizations now have the option of choosing memorable and intuitive domain names specific to their political leanings. Politically-specific TLDs help visitors know what to expect from the websites they visit, making it easier to find sites relevant to them.

The Candidate.domains website specializes in political domains. Through the site, users can register all types of domains – from the traditional .com and .orgs to cutting edge extensions such as .democrat, .republican, .voting, .community and more.

New TLDs (domain extensions) become available for registration in different phases. Pre-registration provides the opportunity for political campaigns to get the domain names they want as soon as they are available.

Through the site, customers can keep track of new TLDs and specific domain names with the Watchlist feature and be alerted as soon as they can place a pre-order. The Watchlist is free without obligation or commitment.

A variety of free services are included with the basic registration services. They include:


    Domain/URL Forwarding
    Email Forwarding
    Domain Control Panel
    Parking Page
    DNS Services
    Sub-domains
    Reports
    Registrar Lock

Customers can also add ID Protect, which prevents the customer’s name, email, and phone number from being made publicly available within the WhoIs database. ID Protect enhances privacy and reduces marketing spam.

Domains that are registered through Candidate.domains are able to host their websites anywhere.

Candidate.domains specializes in political domain registration and TLDs. It offers a convenient place for candidates, campaigns and organizations to register and maintain their domain names. For more information, visit http://candidate.domains.

Candid Web Hosting Solutions Introduces Indian Domain Name Registration Service for Rs. 650


Noida (Delhi NCR) (PRWEB) August 26, 2014

Candid Web Hosting Solutions, the leading web hosting company in India, is offering Indian domain registration packages to clients at prices as low as Rs. 650. With every domain, the company is offering no cost DNS management service, domain forwarding service, domain theft protection, unlimited contact updates and two email accounts.

One of the senior executives of the company said, “A domain name is a unique address to locate sites on the Internet. With us you can buy Indian domain names such as .in, co.in, net.in, org.in, firm.in, gen.in, ind.in and several others at really low prices. You can register these domain names for your company at prices starting at as low as Rs. 650. We give you full control of your domain name along with the id and password of the registered domain name.”

Candid Web Hosting Solutions allows you to sell your domain name whenever you want. The company gives complete administrative and technical rights with each registered domain. Buyers just have to convey the domain name that they want along with their contact details. Once the registration is confirmed, the domain name will solely belong to the buyer. However it will take around two days for the domain name to show up in the Internet database.

“Unlike other companies, we do not retain the ownership of your domain name. Therefore, you can make changes in your website whenever you want, because you are the owner of the site. However, we will not be responsible for the availability of the domain name in between the time we receive your request and the time the payment is made. We take great pride in our customer support service and follow a fair pricing policy for our valuable customers. Therefore, the prices have been kept as low as possible,” further added the executive.

DomainTools

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 02, 2014

DomainTools®, the leader in domain-name and DNS research products, today announced it has partnered with industry leaders to provide cybersecurity investigators with turnkey resources for cyber threat intelligence. DomainTools now integrates with solutions from Mandiant, a leader in managed APT protection solutions, Cyber Squared Inc., a leader in threat intelligence services and the company behind ThreatConnect®, and Malformity Labs, a solution provider of Maltego’s investigation visualization software. Through these integrations, investigators who rely on DomainTools’ unparalleled repository of DNS and Whois data, will be able to more effectively reveal the true identity of an attacker, create profiles of an attacker’s online presence, and quickly mitigate threats.

“Accurate, global Whois and DNS data is a proven difference-maker in cyberthreat investigations,” said Timothy Chen, CEO at DomainTools. “DomainTools has been the secret weapon for investigators and security analysts for years now as they rely on our unrivaled datasets to help connect the dots in their investigations. Integrating with industry partner solutions will make it even easier for our customers to investigate new threats and stop in-process attacks on their corporate networks.”

As the focus of network security strategy switches from protecting the perimeter to the real-time mitigation of inevitable attacks, the use of DomainTools data to identify and track attackers has become a critical part of the security solution stack. As the leading provider of domain profile information, DomainTools has long been an essential tool for security threat investigators. DomainTools maintains the world’s most comprehensive and accurate database of current and historical domain Whois records, along with related IP address, name server, mail server, screenshot records and more, providing security analysts with the crucial data they need to determine whether network traffic is associated with malicious sites, assess risk level and build a profile on the perpetrators of an attack.

Mandiant (a FireEye company) is a leader in security incident response managed solutions. Mandiant threat analysts use DomainTools resources daily in investigating targeted threats. Subscribers to Mandiant’s threat intelligence service directly access DomainTools Whois and DNS data to research domains linked to suspicious activity. The combination of Mandiant threat intelligence and DomainTools is a powerful weapon against targeted threats.

Integrating DomainTools data into Cyber Squared’s ThreatConnect platform enables their users to perform Whois and DNS investigations using the Track feature directly within ThreatConnect. DomainTools data powers the innovative Track feature that enables proactive monitoring of malicious domain registrations and maps them to a dynamic threat actor profile. The derived intelligence can then by used as indicators for alerting and blocking in integrated security products, such as a SIEM.

“Security analysts need to have the best investigation and profiling tools at their fingertips in order to stay ahead of attackers,” said Adam Vincent, CEO of Cyber Squared. “By integrating the DomainTools’ database of cyber-based intelligence into our Threat Intelligence Platform, we enable our customers to react faster to the evolving threat landscape. ThreatConnect is made stronger by partnerships with DomainTools and others, and we’re proud to work with them to develop the best resources for cyber threat intelligence.”

DomainTools’ partnership with Malformity Labs provides visual-based exploration of connections within DomainTools’ data and across other datasets leveraging the Maltego visualization engine. The Maltego visualization software enables users to combine data sets, both external and their own, and find meaningful connections such as the association of an unknown domain to a known cyberespionage organization. Malformity Labs has created a turnkey solution for accessing DomainTools data by hosting a cloud-based Maltego transformation server.

“As cybercriminals get smarter, it’s harder to identify who they are and to map their domain and IP launch points,” said Keith Gilbert, founder of Malformity Labs. “Combining the data from DomainTools with the investigation visualization capabilities of Maltego will enable customers to see the whole picture faster, find meaningful connections in the data and consequently respond to threats in a more proactive manner.”

About DomainTools®

DomainTools offers the most comprehensive searchable database of domain name registration (Whois), IP address and hosting data geared to investigate security attacks, cyber espionage, online fraud and all forms of cybercrime. DomainTools’ web-based application enables users to pivot through 12 years historical records of Whois, hosting, DNS information and screenshots, the industry’s broadest source of domain profiles including all ccTLDs, and IP address, hosting data, mail server records and more in order to find connections from unknown sources to known sources of badness. Customers and industry partners can integrate rich dataset into their IT Security solutions through DomainTools’ APIs, including Parsed Whois API for structured data of current domain registration.

NSONE, Inc. Boosts Routing Precision With EDNS-CLIENT-SUBNET Support

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 04, 2014

NSONE, Inc, a leading DNS and traffic management provider to major internet companies, announced it has added support in its platform for the EDNS-CLIENT-SUBNET (ECS) DNS protocol extension, significantly enhancing the precision with which its groundbreaking Filter Chain routing technology directs traffic to its customers’ datacenters. Major end-user DNS networks like Google Public DNS and OpenDNS can now use ECS to give NSONE’s authoritative DNS platform granular network details that enable NSONE to improve routing of end users to NSONE’s customers. NSONE is one of only a handful of DNS traffic management providers offering ECS support in their platform.

EDNS-CLIENT-SUBNET is an experimental extension to the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol, the underlying internet system responsible for translating domain names to IP addresses. When an end-user DNS network sends an ECS-enabled DNS request to NSONE, anonymized network details about the requesting user are included, and NSONE can use these to make a customized, precise decision about which IP to return to the user. NSONE’s customers leverage the technology to do granular routing — for example, to ensure users are sent to the closest possible datacenter to achieve the best performance.

Combined with NSONE’s patent pending Filter Chain technology, which enables customers to easily combine a variety of high performance routing algorithms into an application-specific ruleset, ECS enables NSONE’s customers to take unprecedented control when routing users. Said Kris Beevers, NSONE’s CEO, “Precision traffic management is what NSONE is all about, and adding support for EDNS-CLIENT-SUBNET was a natural next step for us. We’re excited to be one of the only DNS providers to give customers this level of control, and it’s been great to see how quick uptake has been among our customers, and how excited everyone is to leverage ECS.”

NSONE has recently announced several new features, including support for 2-factor authentication in its customer portal, primary DNS support, and special purpose ALIAS DNS records.

About NSONE, Inc.

NSONE is a next generation DNS and traffic management provider based in New York City. Launched in 2013, NSONE has quickly won major customers including Imgur, Collective Media, Learnvest, and many more with its unique blend of high performance DNS and granular but easy to use traffic management.

Dyn Releases Two New Mobile Apps

Manchester, NH (PRWEB) September 09, 2014

Dyn, the worldwide leader in Internet performance, announced today the release of two new mobile apps, available for Android and iPhone, which will help illustrate the importance of Internet performance and provide useful tools for its customers. These apps, Dyn WHOIS and Dyn Dig, have already been downloaded more than 30,000 times and are available for free in the iTunes store and Google Play.

“We believe in the value of exceptional Internet performance,” said Scott Hilton, Dyn EVP, Product. “The first step in achieving that is understanding who is responsible for your back-end infrastructure. Unfortunately, for a lot of companies this information isn’t readily accessible. These apps will help move that to the top of people’s minds by putting it into the palms of their hands.”

Dyn WHOIS is a utility that allows users to query the global and many country code WHOIS servers for the domain name contact information. The information can be used to find the individuals or entities responsible for the registration of a domain, as well as the registration and expiration times of the desired domain. This would be extremely helpful for any entrepreneur or engineer who is frequently thinking about new domain names.

Dyn Dig is a utility application that allows users to query a specified DNS server or their carrier’s DNS servers for public DNS records. In the records, users can find information such as the domain’s actual IP address along with the authoritative servers for that domain.

“DNS is one of the most important parts of a company’s Internet infrastructure and I am happy to see a tool that makes people aware of that,” said Scott Hearn of SourceExperts.com, the largest online network for global services professionals. “This is the sort of industry-related thought leadership many of us have come to expect from Dyn.”

As the number one provider of managed DNS services and one of the top five email delivery providers among Top 1000 visited websites — according to Datanyze and Alexa respectively — Dyn is committed to public discussions on Internet performance.

“Billions of people use the Internet everyday, but very few understand how this necessary technology actually works,” said Christine Graham, Sr. Software Engineer at Dyn. “The content that viewers see on websites and cloud-based apps that they visit are all hosted on servers located around the world. Dyn Dig and Dyn WHOIS were designed to query these servers through the Domain Name System (DNS) and display the publicly available information about these servers and the people and entities that host them.”

These apps are the first phase of Dyn’s mobile strategy, a strategy that will evolve deeply into the company’s core product areas. Additional tools are also in development, which will be used to further educate on the important role Traffic Management, Message Management and Performance Assurance play in providing the optimal online experience.

ABOUT DYN

Dyn solutions are at the core of Internet Performance. Through traffic management, message management and performance assurance, Dyn is connecting people through the Internet and ensuring information gets where it needs to go, faster and more reliably than ever before. Incorporated in 2001, Dyn’s global presence services enterprise, small business and personal customers. Visit dyn.com to learn more about how Dyn delivers.







DNS Made Easy Offers Tips on Handling a DNS Outage with Grace


RESTON, VA (PRWEB) September 16, 2014

DNS Made Easy offers best practices on how to handle a DNS outage. Our experts know it can happen to anyone, anywhere and anytime. DNS goes down and web sites are offline. Outages can last minutes or days, but either way, it’s never something people like to talk about.

DNS Made Easy experts worked with companies who migrated to our services due to multiple DNS outages. These companies are helping bring the skeletons out of the closet and disclosing what would help customers in times of DNS outages.

“The best policy is to face the issues head-on,” said Steven Job, president of DNS Made Easy. “A direct approach is best.”

In recent DNS outages, large, well-known companies were down due to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks are geared at taking down websites, causing internet traffic jams and stealing information.

DNS Made Easy experts offer their tips on handing a DNS outage:

Be honest.

Don’t try to pretend nothing is happening or nothing went wrong. Be brief but to the point. Say what happened and if you know why it happened. If your site it still down, tell people it is down and when you think it will be back up.

Don’t be reactive.

Have a plan in place before anything goes wrong. Know what you will say, how you will say it and what avenues you will use to distribute information. Don’t be defensive or cast blame to make yourself look better.

Tell users you have a plan.

Let customers know you are taking corrective steps to ensure outages don’t happen again. Our clients moved to DNS Made Easy after experiencing multiple outages, and haven’t experienced an outage since.

Use social media to your advantage.

Reach your users and audience immediately via social media. Use commonly known sites such as Facebook and Twitter to send out an urgent message. Be careful not to cover up honest and helpful feedback, even if it is negative. Also, learn from your audience and remain open and truthful.

Own it and move on.

There’s no need to rehash details of who did what and why things happen. We don’t live in a perfect world, and most people understand that. Let people know what happened, that the problem is resolved and move on with servicing customers.

Outsource your managed DNS.

In order to properly defend against attacks, be on the offensive and maintain uptime, outsourcing DNS is the best bet. All of DNS Made Easy systems are located at premium data facilities with multiple data providers. From a network standpoint DNS Made Easy is in the top tier of DNS providers worldwide. We have a historical 8-year 100% uptime and an overall 99.9999% uptime history due to our 5th generation network, and continue to make significant improvements to redundancy and capacity to make sure we keep it that way. DNS Made Easy constantly researches, upgrades, and redesigns their network to exceed industry standards and insure it can defend against modern security threats. With 100% of network management being handled in-house, DNS Made Easy ensures you receive the highest quality of service possible.

Upgrade your protection.

DNS Made Easy thwarts attacks with an IP Anycast+ system, which is a network infrastructure, made up multiple geographically distributed points of presence around the world. This routing provides global load balancing, redundancy, decreased latency, and a true distributed response to denial of service (DoS) and DDoS attacks. A network of this nature is fully redundant allowing traffic to travel the most efficient path to the destination. This creates a multi-level backup system.

About DNS Made Easy

DNS Made Easy is a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, and is a world leader in providing global IP Anycast enterprise DNS services. DNS Made Easy implemented the industry’s first triple independent Anycast cloud architecture for maximum DNS speed and DNS redundancy. Originally launched in 2002, DNS Made Easy’s services have grown to manage hundreds of thousands of customer domains receiving more than 8.0 billion queries per day. Today, DNS Made Easy builds on a proud history of uptime and is the preferred DNS hosting choice for most major brands, especially companies that compare price and performance of enterprise IP Anycast alternatives.
