Contestant #11 - Community DNS

Community DNS is a UK-based outfit which emphasizes their DNS offering. Community DNS advertises an “incredible DNS resolution platform” with “a staff of over 100 skilled programmers.” They have a highly technical FAQ, and their site is full of facts and figures that will appeal to the skilled DNS junkies, as well as a DNS test server you can log into right on the site. As yet they don’t have any pages devoted to new TLD aspirants.

Please leave a comment if you know anything more about Community DNS.

Not responding to our request for information was FRED, a Czech-based open-source registry solution. If and when I do hear from them, I’ll post something up. In the meantime, they did give a PDF presentation at the ICANN meeting in Sao Paulo.

That’s the end of the series, folks. Next up: a summary post and a downloadable summary PDF. Stay tuned. (Go to summary post.)
