With the Secondary Name Server Hosting service, VeriSign transfers a company's DNS information to a globally distributed network of name servers for propagation throughout the Internet. The customer retains complete control over the domain name data, editing it through its own primary master name server. VeriSign's name servers then answer all queries for data in the domain, providing unmatched performance and geographical distribution. The service also offers a screening option that identifies configuration errors in a customer's data that may adversely affect operations before the data is transferred to the VeriSign servers. By leaving it to us, companies can rest assured that even emerging DNS issues will be identified and corrected before resulting in loss of service.
Services are available now.
Later in 2001, VeriSign's Managed DNS Services suite will be expanded to include primary name server management and other services. The company's domain name, digital certificate and payment services provide the critical Web identity, authentication and transaction infrastructure that online businesses require to conduct secure e-commerce and communications. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, potential volatility in VeriSign's stock price, uncertainty of Internet privatization, increased competition in the domain name registration business including price competition, customer acceptance of new products and services offered by the company in addition to or as enhancements of its registration services, risks associated with the company's international business, uncertainty of future revenue and profitability and fluctuations in its quarterly operating results.
