Config.Com ISP Newsflash

I've been getting people sending me announcements and asking me if our servers are secure or at risk! The bottom line is we've known about the security issues of running both authoritative and caching servers on the same server using Bind for years! We separated ours in July of 2004 for both speed and security.

This exploit was announced by CERT on July 8th 2008

Today, July 23, 2008, I tested several large Internet Service Providers (ISP) and web hosting providers and have discovered many are still failing! To my shock my personal ATT DSL account at home using DNS IP 66.219.156.2 at 18:48:29 pm failed too.... So it goes, yet again to demonstrate that the multi-gazzilon dollar telecom networks are NOT always better than a mall ISP who "has it together"!

 It's issues like this that also determine the quality of the ISP you are doing business with. It can effect both consumer surfing and also merchants domains from being spoofed! DNS is the root core of any network and the quality, speed, aging, the network technical contacts and DNS server IPs are also all things that Google measures when determining the quality of the content they index.If you technical contact is managing a gazzillon web sites or the DNS IP is associated with spam operations, well, it just makes it easier for a small company like config to do better for their clients... Well, enough of my rambling, lets get back to the current DNS security exploit topic!

Welcome to config.com International Internet services

 

Network Administrator Joe Rinehart
Network Admin and Founder Joe Rinehart
When I established the domain config.com back in Jan of 1994 a little over a year before the Internet became commercial, I knew it would eventually change society! At the time, I couldn't understand why everyone wasn't on and that we had two directions to pursue. The first being communications and the second being commerce. Ironically, it has happened to config.com in that order.

Config.com started providing Internet access to our rural area in 1996, first as a resellor for a Cleveland Ohio company, then in Jan of 1999 becoming the first facilities based ISP in our rural Portage Ohio County. Three quarters of our County was long distance to Akron, Ohio at the time. These days we provide the remote dial-up Internet access a company that transmits MRI images to the Cleveland Clinic and also for the fifth largest school system in Ohio, the Akron public schools remote digital academy which we save them a bundle annually!

Our first web site project was putting the first National center for missing children online for Dr. Ward in 1994. Even during the period when we were focused on selling dial up Internet access we found ourselves building, hosting web sites, and maintaining our own network infrastructure. These days we provide web hosting services for over 500 domains World-wide!

I also knew that if we wre to ever compete with the big boys, I'd have to make myself available for emergency network issues and aim for providing the highest quality of services possible. These days, I'm still available and find it challenging to see how long I can keep my personal contact information available as we grow larger ;)

In 2004 We became a National provider and 2005 Internet access we sold our first Internet access dial-up accounts in Canada and Puerto Rico too! We've also been consulting and hosting web projects World-Wide snce 1999 thus making us an International services company.

We hope that you consider config.com Internet services for your dial-up or DSL Internet access or commercial small or medium business web hosting provision! I was once told we should advertise "We have live people who answer our phones!" so Buddy, consider this such an advertisement... We hope others will see the light too! After all, it's about the quality, isn't it?

ITEX barter trade membership exchange We proudly welcome and accept ITEX trade!

Several years ago I enjoyed a discussion with our largest web hosting client regarding how a small company might achieve a National marketing strategy. He suggested using what is known as an "organized trade exchange", as opposed to direct or corporate trade.
