A Glue Record is the registration of a nameserver hostname and it’s static IP (IPv4 & IPv6) with the registry [.COM, .ORG, .CA, etc]. In order for hostnames to be used as nameservers and delegated to a domain name, it is necessary to establish a glue record. For example, dns1.easydns.com is a registered nameserver hostname. […]
DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) is a method of authenticating the identity of internet endpoints using DNS. It lets you map X.509 certificates used in TLS encryption to domain names. Simply put DANE is a way to anchor trust certificates (like TLS / SSL certs) within one’s own zone using TLSA RR’s. Doing so […]
What ENS Integration For Domain Names Means This means that it will now be possible to use your domain names or hostnames as various identifiers within the Ethereum ecosystem: as more dapps and applications pick up support for this, you’ll be able to reference your wallets, smart contracts and other endpoints using a domain name […]

Dynamic DNS service is used to keep a domain name pointing to the same computer or server connected to the Internet despite the fact that the address (IP address) of the computer keeps changing. This service is useful to anyone who wants to operate a server (web server, mail server, FTP server, IRC server, etc) […]
Reverse DNS is separate from the standard DNS for a domain name, and as such is a different service. Our rate for the service is currently $25/yr per netblock (range of IP addresses). For us to provide a reverse lookup, our name servers need to have a delegation for the net-block (CDIR) in which that […]
Normally users cannot create a CNAME or Alias record for their domain apex. For example, users can create a CNAME record for xxxxx.yourdomain.com but couldn’t for just domain.com. However, users now have the ability to create these records which are referred to as ANAME records. Please note that ANAME records can be created with all […]
