The DotSport web site is now supporting IPv6 and DNS Decurity Extensions (DNSSEC).

IPv6 is required for the future growth of the Internet. It is expected that in three or four years time, new entrants on the Internet will no more be able to get IPv4 addresses. Some Internet Service Providers in Asia and Europe are now already using IPv6 for their customers. DNSSEC, on the other hand, is a technology that helps fight different sorts of attacks on the Internet, like phishing and domain name attacks, for example. It is anticipated that the deployment of DNSSEC on the whole Internet domain name system will greatly reduce the possibile attacks on the DNS.  While both technologies are not yet deployed widely, they will be in the near future.

Just like the right type of shoes can help an athlete reach new levels of performance, so will these new Internet technologies help .sport domain name holders gain universal connectivity and trust from the users.

This testbed is for now only covering the DotSport web site and related e-mail services. It aims at showing that the DotSport registry is committed in offering the best of breed service to the sport community.
