Checking your Rights and Claiming your .UK Domain Name

Nominet the .UK Registry for 2nd Level Domains (2LDs) .co.uk .org.uk .me.uk etc now allow the top level ccTLD .UK to be registered 🙂

For domains which currently do not exist as (something).*.uk they can be registered now at
Register Your .UK Domain Name

nominet shorter is better .uk

Where (something).*.UK already exists, there is a system of ‘rights’ over the new shorter .UK domain name to determine who can become the registered name holder (registrant) – which lasts until 2019 or until the .*.uk is not renewed.

If your .co.uk domain is registered with Nominet .UK Registrar Astutium Ltd then you can simply verify and order your new shorter .uk domain name through the dedicated ‘Claim Your .UK‘ page in the ‘My Domains’ section of the Client Portal.

If your .co.uk domain is not currently registered/managed with Astutium why not transfer it to Astutium for free and take advantage of our simple domain and hosting management and cheap renewals.

Look out for an exclusive .UK discount voucher in our latest newsletter this week.

Bash Vulnerability Shellshock – How To Test and Secure Your Machines

A new vulnerability in GNU Bash (referred to as the Shellshock Bash Bug) has been disclosed – every version upto the announcement of the issue on 24/September is exploitable and MUST be patched immediately.

This vulnerability allows hackers to remotely execute code on your server by passing a string following an environment variable

Exploitable systems include:

  • Linux (and linux based) Servers
  • Linux (and linux based) Desktops
  • All Apple Devices
  • Apache Webservers using mod_cgi / mod_cgid
  • Various linux based embedded systems including routers, Raspberry Pis

etc.

Following the original exploit announcement, further vulnerabilities with Bash have been reported, so additional updates and patches are needed even if you patched the original.

See:

If you use any servers, desktops, laptops or devices that include ‘bash’ you should test and patch them immediately.

How To Test for Shellshock Bash Vulnerability

The following code should be run as root from a command prompt, entered all on one line, and will test your system for the bash exploit…

env 'VAR=() { :;}; echo Bash is vulnerable!' 'FUNCTION()=() { :;}; echo Bash is vulnerable!' bash -c "echo Bash Tested"

If you have already patched your system, you will see the output
Bash Tested
– this is good 🙂

If you see
Bash is vulnerable!
Bash Tested
or
Bash is vulnerable!
Bash is vulnerable!
Bash Tested
– this is bad 🙁

Astutium Ltd Acquires Simply Be Hosted

London, UK – August 31, 2014 – For immediate release.

Astutium Ltd ( www.astutium.com ), an established leader in UK business and enterprise web hosting for over a decade, announced today the completed acquisition and integration of Simply Be Hosted – a UK Web Host specialising in providing cPanel based internet services to home and small business users.

“We are excited to have completed our latest takeover – Simply Be Hosted.

The SBH brand has a longstanding loyal customer base of UK based SOHO clients for website hosting and domain registration, with services spanning more than 10 years.

I’m extremely pleased to be able to welcome almost 1000 new clients to the Astutium family.”

enthuses Rob Golding, Head of M+A’s for Astutium.

After careful planning and testing, the company integrated the existing SimplyBeHosted.com services directly onto the Astutium London Docklands network, so clients gained the benefits of fully redundant high-performance connectivity and the immediate availability of dual-stacked IPv4-IPv6 connectivity.

With so many custom configurations, unique setups for many WordPress and Joomla based sites and a highly unusual setup for email services, the integration involved a number of new challenges for Astutium, but was completed without downtime or disruption for the majority of SBH clients by the in-house support team.

“With several thousand domains registered important advantages the registrants now have is they are dealing directly with an ICANN Accredited Domain Registrar, so faster support for any domain issues as well as saving over 30% on renewal pricing.”

continued Rob.

Now completed, the integration grants the former SBH users access to ‘Unified’ – the online Astutium Client Portal – allowing for realtime management of all their web hosting accounts, domain registrations, virtual private servers (vps), dedicated servers, colocation and cloud-servers from one single location.

Every client now has the assurance that their domains, emails and websites are online all the time at a host with an 18 year proven track record of uptime and quality in-house support.

The Astutium network spans multiple countries – UK, US, NL, FR, SE and GR and since 1996 it has offered domain name registration, co-location, shared web hosting, reseller hosting, server virtualisation and cloud hosting solutions. Additionally Astutium are one of the few ICANN accredited domain registrars and provide registration services for over 200 ccTLDs and over 500 gTLDs.
