.COM DOMAIN NAMES – THE MOST RECOGNIZED AND TRUSTED TLD

April 17, 2011 Reply

The .com top-level domain (TLD) has become the standard for doing business online. More than 100 million .com and .net domain names have been registered by businesses and consumers worldwide.

THE POWER OF .COM ONLINE
Millions of businesses and consumers worldwide choose .com to enable their web sites, email, and web-based applications. As more people gain Internet access, the global demand for .com continues to grow and renewals in established areas remain strong. When companies register a .com domain name, they use it and are likely to renew it. Nearly 90 percent of .com domain names resolve to a web site.

THE GLOBALIZATION OF .COM
As companies and communications go global, people are breaking down borders to conduct business anywhere the Internet reaches, and .com has come to mean business everywhere. Make sure your customers are easily found online by adding .com to your suite of domain names. You can even potentially increase registrations with Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) for .com.

.NET DOMAIN NAMES – A GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS DELIVERY SERVICE

April 16, 2011 Reply

The .net top-level domain (TLD) is one of the most important communication networks in the world. Originally intended for use by network providers, today there are no restrictions on who can register a .net domain name. While .net continues to serve as the backbone for the global Internet infrastructure, .net domain names may be used for network infrastructure, ecommerce web sites, email, and every other application on the Internet.

THE MOST IMPORTANT NETWORK IN THE WORLD
The .net TLD delivers electronic communications for some of the largest email and electronic communications providers in the world, and thus has become the backbone for the global Internet. The .net registration and resolution service is comparable in magnitude to a national telephone network or postal service. When the entire ecosystem of .net is considered, it is directly or indirectly involved with at least 30 percent of all Internet activity.

OFFER MORE THAN .COM
Domain names are the foundation for your online presence. A .net after your company name or business keyword shows the world that you are available 24/7. Many of the largest telecommunications providers and network operators, as well as non-profit organizations and high-profile government agencies, have discovered .net as a valuable complement or alternative to a .com domain name. They depend on the reliability and global recognition of .net for communication, information dissemination, ecommerce, and fundraising.

DNSSEC finally goes mainstream

April 1, 2011 Reply

DNSSEC, a more secure version of the internet domain name to IP address lookup protocol, was enabled on the .com top-level domain on Thursday.

The move by VeriSign, the operator of .com, marks an important milestone in the adoption of the technology, now accessible to 80 million registered domains.

The internet’s root servers at the top of the DNS (Domain Name System) hierarchy added DNSSEC support last July. More than 25 top-level domains—including .gov, .org, .edu and .net—have enabled DNSSEC since then.

DNSSEC, or DNS Security Extensions, uses cryptographic checks to make sure that IP results returned by a DNS query point to the corresponding domain name. The technology is a countermeasure against DNS cache-poisoning attacks, such as those famously highlighted by security researcher Dan Kaminsky back in 2008.

The technology has existed for more than a decade and is seen as an important safeguard against certain types of “man in the middle” and cache-poisoning attacks. Despite its longevity, awareness of the importance of the protocol remains patchy.

For example, half the security experts quizzed in a recent survey by internet security firm IID (Internet Identity) admitted they either knew nothing about DNSSEC or only had limited familiarity with the protocol.

Domain Management Interface gets a new LOOK !

March 23, 2011 Reply

Over the last year, our focus has been on introducing new Products and features. While this continues to be our primary focus, we’ve also started working on the aesthetic look and feel of our DOMAIN Control Panel.

We’ve been improving both the look and the usability of our Control Panel and we’ve only recently completed the first phase.

Our New Domain Management Interface goes live tomorrow !

The Domain Management Interface is the most used area of the Control Panel and naturally, we thought it would be the best place to begin. Also, given the multiple sections within the area, it gave us a lot of scope to test out various little tweaks to help improve the overall user experience.

What’s new?
There are quite a few things we’ve improved keeping functionality in mind:

* Simple and neat interface to help you and your Customers navigate easily
* All Domain Management functions on a single page
* Better visibility and easier execution of Pending Invoices
* Clearly indicated Renew button and simplified renewals

Cheers !

.DE Domains are now available !

March 22, 2011 Reply

Dear All

At aalpha NET, we always ensure that our Client/Resellers are equipped with the most popular products to expand their business.

True to this objective, we are happy to announce the upcoming launch of Europe’s most popular ccTLDs, .DE & .ES.

.DE domain names use an independent Contact database in the system. Contacts for .DE domain names are listed under .DE Contact.

The following list displays the various types of .DE Contacts listed in our system and how they are displayed in the Whois of .DE domain names:

.DE Contact Type displayed in the System

.DE Contact Type displayed in the Whois

Registrant
Domain Holder
Admin
Administrative or admin-c
Technical
Technical or tech-c

Billing
Zone administrator or zone-c

The Registrant or the Administrative Contact of a .DE domain name needs to be from Germany. This implies that the country of either of these Contacts needs to be Germany.

The Name field of any .DE Contact can not be modified. If you wish to modify the Name, create another Contact and associate the same with your .DE domain name.
#

If you have set a Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code for your .DE domain name and then within 30 days and prior to Transferring Away your domain name, if you modify the Registrant Contact details of your .DE domain name, the Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code gets nullified and you need to reset Domain (Transfer) Secret Key/Authorization Code if you still intend to Transfer Away your .DE domain name to another Registrar.
#

While modifying the Contact Details of a .DE domain name, the .DE Registry checks if the Name Servers used by the domain name contain a Zone for this domain name and the correct NS and A Records.
