“DNS data is vitally important to the stability of the Internet, but its complexity and uniqueness cause most to be run at less than optimal levels,” said Adam Zimmerman, vice president, VeriSign Global Registry Services. “VeriSign has tailored its suite of Managed DNS Services to fit the needs of any business or service provider to ensure that Internet operations critical to their success stay up and running. In fact, in a recent survey, VeriSign’s DNS Hosting customers reported a 94 percent satisfaction rate, with ease of use and the ability to make quick, reliable, accurate DNS updates cited as the service’s key benefits.”
