Failure: has no DNSKEY

ZoneCheck has updated their software to support DNSSec, which is enabled as one of their checks by default.

This results in the following error, if DNSSEC is not enabled on your DNS server

---- fatal ----

f: has no DNSKEY
  • ns.xxx.net/xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

The trick is to disable this check here: DNSSEC tests

Another change to Zonecheck, is that it now requires IP addresses of Nameservers to
be provided, otherwise it gives this error:

ERROR: Address () is not an IP address

All in all, I'd prefer if they had left it as it was!

How to buy an Israel (.co.il / .org.il) domain name

Israel has two public use second level domains, .co.il and .org.il. It does not yet support IDN, so latin letters only, which is quite an annoyance in a country that speaks hebrew.

According to the Israeli NIC, there are only 7 registrars allowed to sell .IL domain names, and of these only five supported english, of these, this were the prices for one year registrations

Communigal - $17
DomainTheNet - $18
IPMirror - $38
Internic - $49
Safenames - $129

So, the cheapest is this https://secure.communigal.net/
