DDoS Attack in Progress

2010-04-29T11:09:00.000-07:00

Our website is experiencing a Distributed Denial of Service attack which started at 3:30pm yesterday (April 28, 2010). The attack was first focused on our forwarding servers, then was later expanded to attack all our web servers.

Our ISP working to resolve this. We will continue to monitor the situation and give updates as needed.

Updated 12:19pm:
Our website should be online again. The bulk of the attack is on our forwarding server, so our ISP has cut off traffic from this server. This means our domain forwarding is currently offline. We hope to have service restored within the next few hours.

Update #2 at 5:29pm:
Our forwarding server is back online, so any domains set to our domain forwarding service should be working now. Please contact us if you are still experiencing issues.

Spamhaus Block

2010-04-01T13:56:00.000-07:00

On March 26, 2010, all of our IP addresses were blocked by Spamhaus (spamhaus.org) for registering domains for "Russian cybercriminal spammers". We politely asked for a copy of these spam messages as required by our spam policy, however, Spamhaus has refused to give any proof to us since they cannot keep "billions of spam seen every week".

Spamhaus has also asked us to disable domains for an issue unrelated to spam. Since we'd like our IP addresses to be unblocked, we decided to investigate these domains for any possible Service Agreement violations. We began the process last Friday and finished the list on Tuesday (March 30th) at about 2pm Pacific Time. We then emailed Spamhaus, giving them a detailed breakdown of what happened to domains on their list. This breakdown is as follows:

46 domains that are NOT registered with Dynadot
5 domains that were ALREADY disabled or offline since May 2009 (nearly 11 months ago)
118 domains that were DISABLED upon completion of our investigation
3 domains that are expired and CANNOT send any email
18 domains that are offline
3 domains that are parked using Dynadot's parking service and are unable to send any email (need proof of spam)
8 domains that required proof of spam

As of today, Thursday, April 1st 1:41pm Pacific Time, we have not received any response from Spamhaus. Furthermore, we are still blocked by them.

We find Spamhaus' behavior highly unprofessional of them especially since we only require proof of spam for 11 domains out of the total list of 201 domains. It is also clear that they did not do their own research and expected us to "proofread" their list for them since 46 domains are not even registered with Dynadot at this time.

If you would like to contact Spamhaus regarding this issue, you can find their email addresses here:

http://www.spamhaus.org/organization/contacts.lasso

More information about Spamhaus' unbecoming behavior can be found here:

http://linux.andreagozzi.com/content/spamhaus_article.php

Update:
As of April 6, 2010, Spamhaus has removed us from their blacklist.

Re: Premium .TV Domain Names

2010-03-19T18:27:00.000-07:00

Hello,

On March 19, 2010 EST, VeriSign released new Premium .TV Domain Names which were previously unavailable for registration. Unfortunately, we had an error in our system which listed some of these Premium .TV Domain Names as available for the normal .TV registration price.

This happened because we were given an incomplete list of the Premium .TV Domain Names. We assumed that this list contained all of the available Premium .TV Domain Names. So, any Premium .TV Domain Names that weren't on the list were displayed at the normal .TV registration price.

To compound the issue even more, we had a problem with the central registry and ran out of funds. This meant we could not process any COM/NET/TV/CC domain registrations, domain transfers, and domain renewals.

We ended up deleting most of the Premium .TV Domain Names that were registered with the normal .TV registration price and crediting users' accounts. On hindsight, this was probably not the best way to handle the situation.

We are truly sorry for this mistake. If you want a refund for a deleted Premium .TV Domain Name instead of an account credit, please let us know. We will refund your payment, no questions asked.

Best Regards,
Dynadot Staff

Canceling Expired Auction Orders

2010-02-26T16:46:00.000-08:00

We've changed how our system handles instances where an expired auction order was cancelled. If a user accidentally forgets to pay his expired auction order, our system will check to see if this is the first time he has forgotten to pay. If so, an email warning will be appended to the Order CANCELLED email.

If the same user does not pay for his second expired auction order, our system will ban him from participating in future expired auctions.

If submitting payment on time is an issue, please consider setting your Dynadot account's autopay settings to use account credit and fund your account appropriately. This way, you can ensure your expired auction orders will always be paid in full (assuming you have enough account credit).

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Connections to COM/NET/TV/CC central registries Offline

2009-12-10T10:37:00.000-08:00

Our connections to the COM, NET, TV, and CC central registries is currently unstable at the moment.

We are currently looking into this issue and hope to have it resolved in the next few hours. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this.

Auction System Change

Auction orders that have already been cancelled before this change was implemented will not be penalized.

Upcoming Grace Deletion Policy Change

2009-03-23T10:32:00.000-07:00

Starting on April 1, 2009, our Grace Deletion Policy will change due to ICANN's Add Grace Period Limits Policy announcement back in December 17, 2008. You can read ICANN's announcement here:

Advisory: Add Grace Period Limits Policy
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-17dec08-en.htm

Only generic TLDs are affected by this policy:

- COM, NET, ORG, INFO, and NAME will start enforcing ICANN's AGP Limits Policy on April 1.
- ASIA and MOBI have delayed their adoption of ICANN's AGP Limits Policy until May 1, 2009.
- BIZ will not be changing their current grace deletion policy since they have already implemented ICANN's AGP Limits Policy last year.
- TEL will be enforcing ICANN's AGP Limits Policy on March 24, 2009 (General Availability).

Each TLD affected by this policy will be restricted to the following:

- The deletion rate will be limited to 10% of all new domain registrations for that TLD. (The 10% limit applies to our whole system.) Therefore, we cannot always guarantee a grace deletion.

- The deletion fee will be increased from $0.20 to $1.00.

Please note that we may opt to increase the deletion fee further depending on demand. A list of the current deletion fees will be shown on our Grace Deletions page:

Grace Deletions
http://www.dynadot.com/domain/grace_deletion.html

If you want to be able to grace delete your domains under the old Grace Deletion Policy, please submit your grace deletions before March 30, 2009 5pm Pacific Daylight Time. We cannot guarantee that your domains will be deleted with the old Grace Deletion Policy after this date.

If you have any questions about these changes, please let us know either through email or on our forums at Dynadot.com.
