On January 2, 2024 we announced that WordPress VIP will implement DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) for the go-vip.net domain on February 2, 2024.
This post does not contain any changes from the original post, it serves as a reminder.
No action is required on your part.
If your domain points to a go-vip.net domain via an ALIAS, ANAME, or CNAME, DNS record, or if you access an unlaunched site at the go-vip.net domain, you will benefit from this enhancement. Our team has worked diligently to ensure a smooth transition for all applications, and we anticipate no downtime or complications.
What is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC is an advanced security protocol designed to protect Internet users from a range of cyber threats. It adds a layer of security to the Domain Name System (DNS), which is responsible for converting domain names (like go-vip.net) into IP addresses.
DNSSEC validates DNS responses with cryptographic proof, ensuring the resolution process is secure. Protecting your site from threats such as DNS spoofing and cache poisoning, techniques that allow attackers to redirect your visitors to a fraudulent site.
We have not experienced such attacks on the go-vip.net domain, but security is a top concern, and we want to prevent this possibility.
If you have further questions about this change or how it affects your domains, you can open a ticket with VIP Support.
