(The Hosting News) – cPanel, Inc. officially began extending its core DNS (Domain Name System) Cluster functionality by integrating with two major Partner NOCs, SoftLayer and UK2Group (under the brand VPS.NET).
On the Internet, the DNS system translates IP addresses into domain names (like SoftLayer.com, cPanel.net, or VPS.NET). But the process of turning web servers into centralized DNS servers can challenge many first-time server owners.
Fortunately, both SoftLayer and VPS.NET offer hosted DNS solutions that are geographically diverse, scalable, secure, and free of charge to their clients.
cPanel’s newly extended DNS Cluster system provides server owners with the ability to enable DNS, obtain a secure API key, and use SoftLayer and VPS.NET hosted DNS services in just minutes.
cPanel CEO, Nick Koston, said that cPanel was able to rapidly develop this key piece of software once all the pieces were available from SoftLayer and UK2Group, and cPanel is looking forward to offering integration possibilities to other cPanel partners in the near future.
“We are very excited to be able to integrate and extend functionality with our Partner NOCs’ DNS services and other third-party DNS services,” Koston said.
The open architecture of the extended DNS Cluster functionality provides hosted DNS providers with a streamlined process of handling integrations with cPanel & WHM. Future integrators will be able to use SoftLayer and VPS.NET as models to learn methods for offloading DNS traffic and services from their local servers to any hosted DNS provider.
