Last week, we traveled to Florida to meet a few interesting hosting companies in the area.
During our visit, we also had time to enjoy the weather and local cuisines. Our geek hearts
skipped a beat or two when we got to see the office were the first IBM PC (model 5150) was
built back in 1981 under the direction of the now legendary Don Estridge (1937-1985).
Our Swedish team have relocated to a new shiny office at Kopparbergsvägen 8 in central Västerås. The new location doesn’t only offer a bigger variety of lunch restaurants, it also makes traveling much more convenient for those who travel by bus or train. But, most importantly, the new office gives us room to grow the number of employees.

Get started with PHP cURL and Atomia DNS API
Posted in DNS on Tuesday, March 6th, 2012.
A few days back we published a blog post on how to get started with C# and Atomia DNS. Today, we will do a similar blog post for the very popular script language PHP.
Code example after the break.
The interest for Atomia DNS (our open source DNS management system) has exceeded our expectations and last Friday we decided to give the community a chance to play around with it without actually installing it.
AtomiaDNS.net is a free to use DNS service, it is fully functional and you can use the Atomia DNS Web App to manage your domain names or connect to the API using CURL, the Atomia DNS command line client or your homebrewed application. I built one myself in C# this weekend and wrote a blog post with some tips on how to get started.
We have no intention of making profit on this service, therefor we cannot guarantee the perfect up-time or availability, we will, however, do our best to give you a great experience of our software.
It is really easy to get started with the service; head over to http://atomiadns.com/demo and sign up for an account. It takes less than 30 seconds to get started!
Also, check out our quick guide to AtomiaDNS.net at: http://atomiadns.com/quick-guide.
A simple way to consume the Atomia DNS web service using .Net
Posted in Development, DNS on Sunday, March 4th, 2012.
Last Friday, we opened the doors to AtomiaDNS.net, a playground for those who want to test Atomia DNS without installing it. It is a free, fully functional DNS service without any guarantees in terms of up-time or availability.
Atomia DNS is written in Perl and the control panel (Atomia DNS Web App) is written in Node.js, you can, however, use the programming language of your choice to talk to Atomia DNS.
In this blog post I will share a few tips on how to get started in C# and .Net.
Code examples can be found after the break.
