dhs.org In Beta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the replacements-for-the-monolith dept.

TC writes "It looks like Domain Host Services (created by three former members of ml.org) is in beta test mode. I signed up for my name this morning and it is active now. It's a free service like ml.org was. They won't be getting the ml.org domain however :(. "

    Yes, we're getting ready. There a lot of kinks to be ironed out, but this is a free service, for pete's sake! There will be free domains initially, and then DynDNS and ATHOME redirector service. (What's up with NWS's domain, by the way? Why is it ``on hold''?) I'm going to be implementing experimental DynDNS service on my PC.

    One goal of us at DHS is to avoid the pitfalls into which we ran at Monolith, like abuse, buggy DynDNS clients hammering our server, a poor password reset system, and an unmanageable contact address (ml@ml.org always had at least 500 and usually 1000 unanswered messages in the queue).

    Cheers,
