DynDNS' DNS Update API Selected By OpenDNS
November 28, 2006
MANCHESTER, NH – DynDNS' DNS Update API has been selected by OpenDNS to power their newest feature, OpenDNS accounts. This mechanism allows OpenDNS users to set resolution preferences, even if they are on a dynamic IP address. DynDNS developed the API and had been providing dynamic DNS (DDNS) services since 1998.
“This is just another way that DynDNS' de-facto DNS Update API is being used to update Dynamic DNS hosts. We’re happy to see that OpenDNS selected our industry leading standard,” said Jeremy Hitchcock, DynDNS' CEO.
DynDNS offers a Certification Program to recognize software and hardware that is fully compatible with the DNS Update API. To date, devices made by Linksys, Netgear, Patton, SonicWALL, and Sony have been certified by DynDNS. Software or hardware developers are encouraged to submit their devices to DynDNS to be evaluated.
DynDNS' Recursive DNS is currently used by thousands of users and enterprises to power their Internet connections by providing fast and reliable DNS resolution, even for users on dynamic IP addresses. Using the same DNS Update API, users have been able to manage their Recursive DNS, since the service was launched in April 2005. DynDNS is current offering a promotional 10% off Recursive DNS service with a coupon code recdns.
