Anytime your website is down, you’re losing money. Businesses today rely on the Internet in ways that were unimaginable a few short years ago. Keeping your website up and running can be a full-time job all by itself. But if it goes down, will you be equipped to handle it alone? That’s why we offer a Failover DNS service that provides 24/7 uptime at a low–or perhaps zero–cost to you. (more…)
If your business has its own website, you’ve got a public DNS. A public DNS is any domain that’s available for access by the public. (This is opposed to a private DNS, which is only available on a private network. Private DNS are, understandably, rare, or at least more rare than public ones.)

You may remember when the Federal Government began to implement a National Do-Not Call list a few years ago. There were several ways you could opt into this, including by telephone and via the Internet.

Many people now look to the Internet first when researching a company or a product. All these are reasons to make sure that your website is always available. After all, downtime equals lost revenue, and perhaps even lost customers. If your competitor’s website is always fully operational, and yours isn’t, you could be giving away business. So even if you’ve got DNS service, you may want to think about getting a secondary DNS system as well. (more…)
