EuroDNS wishes everyone a very happy new year 2012.

2011 was a busy year for EuroDNS and we would like to share our highlights.

Last year EuroDNS customers witnessed the launch of ProDNS, had new extensions on offer like the much talked about .XXX and saw the deployment of Afternic’s Domain Listing Service. Our IT department has been busy working on improving our platform, resulting in the first upgrade being released this week. We also participated in 8 tradeshows around the world, using the opportunity to gather feedback and ideas for 2012. The EuroDNS team also saw internal improvements with a senior management re-organization with the exciting mission to take the company to the next level of success in 2012.

Early last year EuroDNS proudly announced its partnership with ProDNS. ProDNS is built on a Distributed Anycast platform, which ensures maximum uptime and resilience.As an Authorised Value-Added Reseller of ProDNS, EuroDNS is now offering its customers the enhanced service of ProDNS unique multiple AnyCast networks!

You may have noticed we carried out an upgrade to our platform on Monday 16th of January, 2012. This was to ensure the system is capable of supporting our customers for the future and give us more flexibility to enhance the product range, flexibility and usability of our systems. Over the next 12 months you will notice similar changes on other part of our systems and product ranges. The new interface  (internally referred to as ‘v3’) will bring a lot of constructive changes for the EuroDNS website. To name a few that are immediately visible; we now display prices in your preferred currency; USD and British Pounds in addition to Euros and have also integrated payment options by PayPal. You can now make use of our Namemedia API and Domain API and can now also use/benefit from our DomainRecovery services.

In 2012 we will continue to improve our systems, website and products. If there is something you’d like to see us offer, please feel free to email your suggestions to feedback@eurodns.com  and we will take that into account in our future plans.

The year was also filled with exciting promotions and offers on domain extensions. Some popular ones from the year 2011 were .ME, .FR, .DE, .EU, .NL, .BE, .INFO, and .AT amongst others. In addition to the .XXX, the COM.DE (Centralnic.) was also introduced.

In November 2011 EuroDNS observed two important events. First the company saw a top management re-org where Xavier Buck, former CEO of EuroDNS, stepped up to become the new President and Chairman of the Board while Lutz Berneke took over as EuroDNS CEO. The next important event was the integration of Premium Domain Marketplacein the EuroDNS API, through Afternic DLS. As part of this, EuroDNS deployed Afternic’s unique“Instant Transfer” technology for domain sales.

During this period, in response to significant traffic growth and customer feedback, in order to provide our customers with a more robust platform, EuroDNS moved from two nameservers to four in geographically diverse locations.

As we look forward to yet another eventful year and strive to provide all our customers with the best domain name experience, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for being a part of the fantastic year we had at EuroDNS.
