Elementary Mail Deliver Totally Fresh Concept for Sending Mail

(PRWEB UK) 5 July 2012

Only a few decades ago with the advent of Electronic Mail, the decline of the postal service seemed inevitable. But today it is well understood that the postal service plays a vital role in delivering the ever increasing amount of products users are buying online. According to a 2010 Connected Kingdom (BCG) report, in that year 62% of UK residents, or 31 million people bought goods and services online.

Elementary Mail is a new hybrid mail service that allows users to send letters, cards and gifts to any address in the world by doing nothing more than spending a few minutes at their computer.

The Company’s founder Henry Dudding explains why he believes that postal mail is still vital to 21st Century life:

“It could be argued that one factor in the decline of the letter has been the slow pace at which the postal system has adopted to change over recent years. It is no longer convenient or cost effective to buy stamps, stationery and envelopes and then hand deliver any finished item to the nearest post box. That’s why we moved the whole process of sending mail online, making it simple fast and affordable”

Elementary Mail put’s users back in the driving seat, giving them all the tools they need to create and edit Letters, Greetings Cards, Promotional material and much more. With a wide choice of designs users simply create each item to their liking and leave Elementary Mail to dispatch it the same day.

The company’s latest venture has been the creation of a somewhat eye catching and rather charming internet video. The video playfully explains all the key features and benefits the site has to offer, while at the same time remaining thoroughly entertaining to watch.

“While hybrid mail is a serious business, the aim of the video was to make something light hearted that people would enjoy” Explains Dudding.

The company has big plans for the future including the creation of a mobile phone APP which Dudding believes will make the whole process of sending mail even easier:

“A mobile phone application will allow users to send mail directly from their smart phone or digital device, potentially making trips to the high street for stamps or stationary a thing of the past” In the meantime Elementary Mail’s mobile friendly website already supports a wide range of web enabled devices for those on the move.

He continues, “The service isn’t just for UK residents, it offers a fast and convenient alternative compared with air mail for those looking to send postal mail into the UK”.

Elementary Mail is the perfect solution for expatriates looking to stay in contact with friends and loved ones, as well as holiday makers looking to send mail or even a last minute gift back into the UK while on their travels.

Users can also access a selection of letter templates ranging from CV’s to thank you letter’s, as well as an address book for keeping track of friends and contacts.

DNS Made Easy Introduces ANAME Records

Posted on by
Reply


Reston, VA (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

DNS Made Easy, the industry’s leading IP Anycast DNS provider, announced the release of ANAME records. ANAME records are exclusive to DNS Made Easy and are useful as an alternative to CNAME records. This industry leading technology is another step that shows why more clients make DNS Made Easy their preferred choice to over-priced and underperforming alternatives in the enterprise IP Anycast market.

CNAME records, or alias records, are used by DNS administrators to easily map names within their domain to other fully qualified domain names. The advantage of the CNAME record is that no knowledge of the IP address(es) associated with the target fully qualified domain name is required.

“Unfortunately the capabilities of CNAMEs did not come without sacrifice,” explained David Miller, CTO of DNS Made Easy. “CNAME records cannot legally be created for the apex or root record of a domain. CNAME records must be unique; as such, users are not able to create additional records of different types (i.e. TXT, MX, etc.) at the same name. The uniqueness requirement also prevents the use of CNAME records in a round robin configuration. Finally, CNAME records can cause slower DNS resolution since they generally require at least a double DNS lookup. DNS Made Easy is committed to raising the bar in the industry as a whole, and we knew there had to be a better way. As a result, we designed one.”

With DNS Made Easys ANAME Record type, clients of DNS Made Easy can now realize the same ease of use of CNAME records without all the limitations and decrease in performance.

When an ANAME record is created, DNS Made Easy will synthesize all A records required for the name within the domain from the current values of the target of the ANAME record. DNS Made Easy will then continuously monitor the A records associated with the ANAMEs target fully qualified domain name. Whenever the IP address(es) of an ANAME target change, DNS Made Easy will instantly update the necessary A Records using their proprietary Peregrine Instant DNS update technology.

ANAME records can be used at the apex or root record for a domain. Because the resulting DNS records are A records, there is no longer a limitation on allowing an alias at the root record.

ANAME records provide ability to load balance CNAME records. If the user creates multiple ANAME records with the same name, the IP addresses of the targets will all be added in a round robin configuration in DNS Made Easy. If the alias side of the record maps to multiple IPs itself, DNS Made Easy will recognize this and will immediately update and create the IP mappings.

ANAME records also solve the performance problem with CNAME records. The correct IP is returned on the first lookup, rather than requiring additional lookups by resolving name servers. Faster DNS lookups make websites load faster and improve SEO.

ANAME records are fully compatible with and extend the functionality of the Global Traffic Director service from DNS Made Easy. An ANAME record created with a GTD region will cause queries for the targets value to be made only from hosts that are located within that particular region, this ensures that only regional values will be used for regional records and that traffic will continue to be directed geographically.

Most CDNs require CNAME records within customer domains to utilize the CDN service. Replacing these CNAME records with ANAME records can provide an extremely flexible and powerful solution to keep optimize the use of CDN services. The combination of ANAME records and GTD service removes the multiple DNS lookups of a CNAME and will provide regionally relevant values. This provides the complete power and flexibility that enterprise companies require from their networks today.

DNS Made Easy claims that other products similar to the ANAME record are available from other providers. These other products are limited in only being available at the apex of a domain, or can target records only provided by a particular hosting service, or do not offer geographically specific differentiation of values. DNS Made Easy believes that they are the only solution that allows clients to create an ANAME record for any name within a domain which targets any fully qualified domain name and combines this with the ability to serve geographically specific records.

“DNS Made Easy has provided our new ANAME Record functionality to all of our customers at no additional cost. We are excited to be the first and only DNS provider in the industry to provide such a unique and complete service,” stated David Miller. “All of this is done over our industry leading IP Anycast+ network, the worlds fastest and most redundant DNS network in the world. AAAANAME records are in testing and will be released to all of our customers shortly to provide the same functionality for IPv6 addresses.”
