Recently at Squared Logic we have been working on a new service, Public DNS. This is our free, 100% UK based DNS resolution service that is designed to offer completely clean responses and always respond quickly.

What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System and translates domains into IP addresses, which uniquely identify servers and computers over the internet. Without DNS you wouldn’t be able to browse the web in the way that you do, the same applies for email. If you aren’t very computer literate you may not have every come across DNS because it is usually dealt with by your internet service provider, who provide it because they have to.

What is the advantage of using Squared Logic Public DNS?

Where your ISP provides DNS as without it customers such as yourself would not be able to properly access the web, this means that it is likely to be slow, and congested, as there will be many customers using it. At Squared Logic we provide our Public DNS service as part of our portfolio, which means we strive to ensure that it is always fast and accessible, regardless of what time of day you’re browsing.

How do I use Squared Logic Public DNS?

If you are a network administrator you may wish to change your gateway’s DNS servers to us so your whole network uses our DNS resolvers, otherwise we recommend that home users change their network adapter settings.

For more information visit public.squaredlogicdns.com where you’ll find our DNS server IP addresses.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new affiliate system which enables you to earn 50% one-time credit on all sales generated by your unique link.

To active your account either register or login to the client area, then select “Affiliates” in the horizontal navigation bar at the top, you’ll then be able to active your affiliate account and be given your own unique URL which can be used to start generating sales.

When someone clicks your URL, a cookie is placed on their computer so even if they do not decide to immediately purchase anything, it will still count if they come back at a later date.

If for example you were to refer someone and they ordered K1 100MB Managed Hosting worth £5.00 a month, you would earn £2.50 one-time worth of credit which can be used on any service provided by Squared Logic IT Solutions.

To stop abuse of the affiliation system a limit of £5.00 has been set which must be achieved before you are able to withdraw and use your credit.

This is our first Christmas here at Squared Logic, and we’re looking forward to an incredible year ahead of us. Stay tuned as we’ve got some great new products in the pipeline!

We are pleased to announce the launch of our custom-built automated network monitoring and announcement system.

Our aim was to design an automated system which can monitor our infrastructure and inform both the Squared Logic team and clients the minute any problem occur meaning any issues can be dealt with and most importantly, clients won’t be left in the dark.

The public facing side of the system is available to clients via Tumblr and Twitter.

Future plans for the monitoring system include integration with other social platforms as well as Tumblr and Twitter making it easier for clients to stay up-to-date with crucial announcements.
