Is Zerigo (DNS provider) shutting down?
I've received an email (purportedly) from Zerigo, saying:
Dear Zerigo Customer,
Effective April 30, 2017, Zerigo DNS will shut down permanently. We thank you for your
business and apologize for this inconvenience.
If you are managing a public Web site or other Internet domain using Zerigo DNS, you must
migrate to an alternative DNS provider prior to April 30th, 2017 in order to prevent a DNS
error message from displaying when a user visits your website.
Edit to add: the email looks legitimate at first glance, and unlike the one on the Reddit thread does not come from "Rexx.com". It hasn't fallen into Gmail's spam box either. Bummer. We (easyDNS) were pursuing the idea of acquiring Zerigo, I guess that isn't going to happen now.... https://www.easydns.com/blog/2017/03/14/our-efforts-to-acqui... There is a link in the email to "view this email as a web page" which redirects to a page on 8x8.com (the parent company of Zerigo), so I assume it's legit. Yes, we had the same email today. Their support email address bounces right back. One to Sales didn't but I have v low expectations of getting a reply. Can't find anything on their site or 8x8... I just called Zerigo's support hotline, they confirmed that Zerigo is EOL with April 30th. 8x8 (Their parent company) wants to go into a different direction. Ah, hang on. The link to Amazon Route 53 is bogus... Just got this email forwarded to me, and I also got the one from Rexx a while back. This one looks legit but those URL's in this email are a huge red flag.
