ironDNS®
ironDNS® is a DNS service especially desigend for the highest requirements on security and fast, global accessibility.
The Internet's increasing importance for enterprise-critical applications challenges the operation of name servers for domain names. In many cases, the evolved technical architectures have become insufficient so that DoS attacks, for example, can cause outages of Internet addresses with potentially devastating consequences. This is why the German IT Security Act classifies larger DNS infrastructures as critical, resulting in a number of security constraints for the operation.
The technology behind ironDNS® is a completely new development by Knipp. With ironDNS®, we have set new standards in terms of the security and service quality of nameserver infrastructures since 2006. ironDNS® enables the operation of critical DNS infrastructures at the highest technical level. Embedded in ISO 27001-certified processes, ironDNS® fulfills all requirements set forth by the IT Security Act.
Further information on our sophisticated DNS services are available on the ironDNS® product page.

Trademark Clearinghouse
The Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) is a central institution for trademark owners. It was initiated by ICANN to ensure brand protection for new Top Level Domains (nTLDs).
When enrolled in the TMCH, trademark owners can register their brand domains early during the introduction phases of a new TLD. Potential domain owners are notified of potential intellectual property violation upon registration. And not least, trademark owners will be informed by the TMCH when domains with their brand name are registered in the so-called "Trademark Claims" period.
