EuroDNS recently launched SSL certificates; a hugely significant step in its mission to secure the Internet. If you want people to buy your products, you have to prove your website’s genuine, that it’s safe for them to enter payment details and make online purchases. If you're using SSL certificates already, you must ensure that they use the SHA-2 algorithm.

Nine months ago, the DotClub registry revealed its plan to get 5,000,000 .CLUB domain name registrations over the following five years.  The .CLUB domain is currently listed as the third most registered new domain extension - without giving away any freebies. Today we’ve caught up with CMO, Jeff Sass, for an update...

An SSL certificate is a digital endorsement of the identity of your website, the same way your passport proves who you are. Your website will display a padlock icon, followed by HTTPS at the start of your URL. Users will know immediately that they can enter sensitive information in a secure environment.

Domain hacks were used to play the system. When trying to find a good .COM domain name became a pain, a domain hack was a cool alternative. Originally, using country code domain extensions, they brought more choice whilst at the same time, creating fun names such as virg.in, ma.tt, goo.gl, and will.i.am.

Have we ever asked you to update or reconfigure your name servers? You’ve dutifully followed our instructions but not really been 100% clear as to what they are or why you’re doing it. Keeping the technical bumph to a minimum; the primary function of name servers is to translate a domain name into an IP address - so far so good...

“Your domain name has expired.”

All that time and money spent finding your perfect domain name has just gone up in smoke. Your website’s gone down and your email address doesn’t work. Could this have been avoided? Absolutely!
