Wow! 
Comodo Secures the Future of DNS with Launch of Authoritative DNS Service
I guess thatâs what you get when you have just anybody voting on the status of something. Youâll notice nobody has commented on what they feel the problem is⌠I mean, itâs DNS.com! What could possibly be malicious there? 88)
Maybe itâs just the name, far too obvious for some people.
I canât believe this as I just thought it was secure DNS 
Will the DNS.com infrastructure moved to Comodo? Or will remain outsourced with DNS.comâs existing infrastructure? Or even move (outsource) it to Neustar just like the Secure (recurrsive) DNS?
DNS is what Internet runs on!
there are 2 different sides to itâŚ
1)Authoritive
2)Recursive
Authoritive: this is what you use when you have a domain name. You put your details into these Authoritive servers so that when users are looking you up by typing your domain, you will be the âauthorityâ about the domain name to IP resolution (in very simple termsâŚ)
Recursive: Its like a proxy that ISPs etc can use so that when users are typing the domains (which requires resolution to an IP address) the same queries do not go to up the chain to âauthoritiveâ servers every time.
For any business running their website, DNS is one of the (if not the most) important layers that has to be up all the time and fast! That is what you get with DNS.com! What you usually get with your hosting company doesnât usually compare to the uptime, speed and security of DNS.com.
So companies people thousands and tens of thousands of their money on creating great websites, but their DNS is slow, or not up, or DDOSed etc. Its like a guy wearing a really expensive suite but with a very cheap shoesâŚ

It is now green. Probably several of us rated it today so have successfully changed the rating.
Congratulations Melih⌠:-TU
I am upset at certain membersâ comments about WOT. They probably donât understand it fully. 88)
If the site was amber, it was because basically no one reliable had rated it. Not everyoneâs vote counts the same as others. Unknown sites donât just start out dark green, or dark red. To most people, it would make sense to give an unknown site a 50/50 rating, and not color it safe with only one or two votes.
I doubt your claims, at least about Google. The rating for Google.com looks green to me. Of course, you no doubt know that many believe Google is evil and is snooping into their life for unknown reasons.
As for porn sitesâŚfor any well-known or semi-well-known site, the child safety bar is red or amber. But the other categories/bars are green, if it is trustworthy, reliable, and the like.
As for these little kids, many of them make rational comments. And the more unreasonable ones get voted down, where they arenât seen.
In short, I have been using WOT since April 2009, and I havenât seen any evidence of a wrong rating (if there were a reasonable number of voters).
It problem is not the voters, but the lack of them. DNS.com was a nothing. Not popular or well-known, and with no reason for people to find it or visit it. As I said above, I doubt WOT would default with a green rating.
Some people will jump all over anything they think is bad, without examining it. WOT will be wrong temporarily if there are any sudden changes in a site (though detailed WOT forum posts can correct the problem fast enough), but so would almost any program that rates sites, either by pros, staff, automatic processes, or users.
And unknown sites are a problem with WOT too, but think: WOT makes it plain when a siteâs rating is not reliable (which is somewhat tied with how many votes it gets), so just donât trust or visit an unknown site. Simple.
I conclude that I have yet to hear any negative evidence against WOT.

Actually, DNS.com is very well known⌠It just seems obvious that the crowd that visits arenât the WOT using crowd. 
Congrats on the acquisition. :-TU
In that case, if the general public isnât using DNS.com, then the WOT bashing doesnât seem too necessary. After all, it wouldnât matter that much⌠I doubt most companies would choose which DNS to buy just based on WOTâŚ
Are you saying that DNS.com is well known because of its name? I had never heard of itâŚbut I have heard of the term âDNSâ. 88) 88)
Well done Comodo, and welcome to another addition of the âComodo Family!â
Thank you guys!
we will protect everything that needs protection one step at a time!
now its DNSâs turn!

Hope you donât mind but I have a couple of small corrections.
A DNS server may be defined as either Authoritative or Non-Authoritative for any given zone, as defined by itâs SOA record.
Queries made against a name server may be recursive or iterative, at least for the forward look-up zone. If one needs to query for a âPTRâ record, the reverse look-up zone is queried.
Congrats on the acquisition I hope weâll see support for IPv6 AAAA records.
Iâm not WOT bashing. Merely pointing out that it canât be taken as a definitive result.
Exactly!
No, Iâm saying itâs well known because itâs one of the leaders in the DNS industry. The DNS.com domain has been around for 20 years.
The DNS.com domain has been around for 20 years.Damm, thats a long time
HmmâŚI guess it is only well-known to a certain type of people. Most âcommonersâ donât have any need of going there.
Maybe so, but it is one of the most helpful things available, IMO. At the least, I can easily tell if a website is well-known enough to be somewhat safe. Too many times I have found online stores that look legitâŚbut many can build a nice looking site. WOT helps me quickly see if others have tried out the store.
If not many, I donât buy from it. If some have, but have reported bad experiences, I (probably) wonât buy from it. But if a reasonable amount reports good experiences (or at least votes that way), it is trustworthy in my view.
AnywayâŚback to the topic:
Iâm wondering, what can Comodo do with this to improve anything? Does it plan to implement security features that DNS.com doesnât already have?
I like my free CIS, but I have heard bad tales about some paid Comodo products. :-X
(P.S. what in the world is this emoticon: :azn: Never saw it before ??? And what does the âaznâ code mean that you use to embed it?)
We always have a planâŚand in general all our plans include Innovation
Melih
I assure you, I am deeply intrigued.
