Just going through some of the preparations for this afternoon’s WHIR webinar, DNS for Hosting Companies: Ensuring Zero Downtime, sponsored by Nominum, and featuring chairman and chief scientist Dr. Paul Mockapetris, the inventor of DNS, and VP of network operations Paul Evenson – and I wanted to make sure everyone had one more chance to find out about the session, and to sign up.
It’s at 2:00 pm Eastern time today, and you can sign up from the WHIR webinars page, or go straight to the sign-up page here.
I’ll be moderating the session, the bulk of which will be a presentation by Mockapetris, who will discuss the current state of DNS, along with current trends surrounding the technology, and Evenson, who will delve into some of the specific DNS issues facing hosting companies – how to mitigate risks and ensure zero downtime.
Those risks, from a hosting provider’s perspective, include a variety of Internet-based attacks such as DDoS, the regularity and complexity of which is always increasing. The availability of your customers’ web presences, cautions Nominum, ultimately relies on your DNS.
DNS is a critical consideration for hosting companies, particularly during the upcoming holiday season, which as we all know is the key season for most online retailers. Outages could make or break your customers businesses, could cost you customers and could cause serious damage to your brand.
Join us today for what should be a very interesting presentation, and learn how making the right DNS decisions could benefit your business.
