New DTS API endpoint simplifies domain transfer workflows

Posted on 8 January 2026

We’ve added a new API endpoint to our Domain Transfer Service (DTS), making it easier for partners to manage domain transfers in a fully automated way.

With this update, domains can now be added directly to a DTS configuration via the API, removing the need to manually add domains through the portal. This enhancement is designed for customers who prefer an API-driven workflow and want to streamline their transfer processes.

Built for API-first workflows

Until now, domains needed to be added to a DTS configuration through the DTS interface in the control panel. With the new endpoint, resellers can …

Upcoming SSL validity changes: what this means and how to prepare

Posted on 8 January 2026

In the coming years, the maximum validity period of SSL/TLS certificates will be shortened step by step across the entire industry. This change is driven by updated CA/Browser Forum rules and applies to all publicly trusted SSL certificates.

These changes are intended to improve security by limiting the impact of compromised keys and ensuring certificate data remains up to date.

What does this mean in practice?

SSL certificate validity periods will be reduced gradually as part of new CA/Browser Forum baseline requirements.

Certificates issued before each change date will remain valid for their original term. However, any certificate that …

Predictive Intelligence for Fraud Prevention

Posted on 8 January 2026

We’ve enhanced our abuse monitoring system with the integration of the Domain Trust feed from the Global Cyber Alliance. This feed adds predictive intelligence to our existing monitoring capabilities, helping partners identify potentially risky domains earlier in the lifecycle.

What’s different

Traditional reputation blocklists (RBLs) focus on domains that are already confirmed as malicious. The Domain Trust feed takes a different approach.

It includes PreCrime™ Intelligent Cyberthreat Prevention by BforeAI, which uses behavioral patterns and predictive signals to identify domains that may pose a risk, before abuse or fraud is confirmed.

This allows for earlier insight, rather than relying solely …

.CA and .EE Now Available Under Our Direct Accreditation

Posted on 8 January 2026

We’ve expanded our portfolio of directly accredited ccTLDs with .ca (Canada) and .ee (Estonia).

Posted on 2 December 2025

Why rely on the “big names” when you can get the same power, without the centralization?

When companies run into DNS trouble or face DDoS attacks, the instinct is often to turn to the biggest brands in the industry. But high-performance DNS isn’t exclusive to the major players, and relying on just a handful of global giants is exactly how the internet becomes unnecessarily centralized.
