NEWBURYPORT, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 21, 2007 -- DNSstuff.com, a global leader in DNS
knowledge and tools with one of the largest communities of IT professionals
on the Web, today announced that it has begun offering members automated
access to its DNS-related tools. With automated usage, DNSstuff.com becomes
an even more important weapon in the fight against hackers and spammers.
"DNSstuff.com is a valuable tool for anyone in the hosting industry," said
Justin Shipley, CEO of MabusHosting.net. "We often use the application to
troubleshoot VPS and hosting issues -- everything from simple domain issues
to IP reverse DNS and spam listings. We are excited about automated access
because it will allow us to more quickly prevent or respond to potential
issues."
Instead of manually entering individual inquiries, members can now use
their own scripts or tools to programmatically query DNSstuff.com for a
more comprehensive and accurate picture of their network health and
stability. This is especially useful for ISPs and IT staff combating
hackers or spammers, Web Hosting Providers monitoring a multitude of
customer domains, and IT staff at large corporations that are managing a
constant stream of DNS and mail server changes. The automated usage service
also helps to free IT resources that can be devoted to other issues or
tasks.
"This is simply our first step toward more robust automated usage access,"
explained Paul D. Parisi, CTO of DNSstuff.com. "The need for information
will continue to grow in proportion to new and varied types of Internet
threats. We are in the process of building our own Web API and automated
access tools to meet that increased demand."
Automated usage rights are available to DNSstuff.com members as a set of
tiered fees based on the number of queries made each month. The base cost
for this access is $50 per month for up to 2,000 look-ups. Annual
membership to DNSstuff.com is $36 per year. More information about
DNSstuff.com membership and proactive alerting and monitoring services can
