.ch registrars : goodbye nic.ch, but where to go then ?

by Olivier Mueller

Hello, As you most probably all know, .ch domains which are still registered at nic.ch have to be moved to another registrar by autumn 2016 (https://www.nic.ch/reg/cm/wcm-page/misc/aufgabentrennung.html). But thanks to some recent marketing campaigns (like "Per 31. Dezember 2014 braucht Ihre .ch-Domain ein neues Zuhause!"), ads and newspaper articles, some customers are already panicking, so I am also looking for a new home for a few hundreds of self-hosted domains. Requirements: - it should be a registrar only company, if possible (to prevent departure of customers to other hosting companies) - customer billed directly - DNSSEC / IPV6 capable - no aggressive ads on checkout (add antivirus, add top listing, add hosting, etc.) At the moment, my first choice would be gandi.net, even if they are a little bit more expensive than the others and they are also selling some kind of hosting, because it "just works", and I like their "no bullshit" promise :) But maybe there would be a more suitable alternative, so my question to you if you are in a similar situation : which is your new .ch-registrar and why ? Thanks & kind regards, Olivier PS: just in case, here is the current list of .ch-Registrars according to the official listing @ Switch, sorted by yearly-cost (no warranty of correctness). 26 companies out of total 70 are not listed (no visible public pricing, reseller-only, etc.) : CHF URL 1 8.90 http://www.infomaniak.com/en 2 9.90 https://www1.q-x.ch/ 3 9.95 http://www.greenmark-it.de/ 4 10.70 https://www.hosttech.ch/ 5 10.75 https://www.metanet.ch/ 6 10.81 http://www.ovh.com/fr/index.xml 7 11.90 http://www.kreativmedia.ch/de/ 8 11.96 http://www.hostway.de/ 9 12.90 http://www.netzone.ch/ 10 12.95 http://www.novatrend.ch/de/ 11 13.50 http://www.1api.net/ 12 13.80 http://www.bar.ch/ 13 13.90 http://www.firestorm.ch/ 14 14.00 https://www.iway.ch/ 15 14.16 http://www.123domain.eu/ 16 14.42 https://www.namebay.com/ 17 14.50 http://www.green.ch/de-ch/home.aspx 18 14.50 http://www.netim.com/domain/ 19 14.90 https://www.amenic.ch/de/ 20 14.90 https://www.cyon.ch/domains/ch-transfer 21 14.90 http://www.easyname.com/en 22 14.90 http://www.webland.ch/ 23 15.00 https://www.hostfactory.ch/ 24 15.00 http://www.hostpoint.ch/ 25 15.00 http://www.vtx.ch/ 26 15.50 http://www.domainpartner.ch/ 27 15.50 http://www.mhs.ch/domains 28 15.50 http://www.switchplus.ch/?lang=de 29 15.90 https://www.hosteurope.ch/ 30 16.12 http://www.gandi.net/ 31 16.71 http://www.inwx.de/ 32 18.03 http://www.1domain.at/ 33 18.36 https://www.101domain.com/ 34 18.41 http://www.marcaria.com/ 35 19.00 https://www.openprovider.co.uk 36 19.71 http://www.domaindiscount24.com/de/ch-domain 37 20.05 https://www.checkdomain.de/ 38 33.66 https://www.eurodns.com/ 39 36.06 http://www.info.at/ 40 58.90 http://www.1und1.de/ 41 59.50 http://www.register.eu/ 42 70.92 http://www.domainname.at/ 43 101.75 http://www.instra.com/ 44 119.00 https://www.united-domains.de/

Troubles with IPv6 queries to whois.nic.ch?

by Benoît Panizzon

Hello Who else experiences that problem since a couple of days? $ whois direktion.ch The number of requests per client per time interval is restricted. You have exceeded this limit. Please wait a moment and try again. (query was done via IPv6) $ whois -h 130.59.31.241 direktion.ch whois: This information is subject to an Acceptable Use Policy. See http://www.nic.ch/terms/aup.html Domain name: direktion.ch [...] works! I'm not doing more than max 10 queries/week from that specific ipv6 address, probably much less. I'm not aware of having other clients within my /48 network doing any queries to whois.nic.ch (yes, my blacklist scripts do a lot of queries to whois.ripe.net and other RIR's to get abuse contacts, but not to switch) -Benoît-

Re: [swinog] New .exe virus in.zip file via mail

by Daniel Rechsteiner

Hi Benoit, > We see a lot of such viruses at the moment. > > Clamav is desperately behind all other AV's at the moment... We see them too. It seems Upatre is morphing very quickly, so signature based AV solutions will always be behind. Here Cloudmark recognizes new variants of Upatre in about one hour after the first one arrives, but in that one hour lots of them arrive. So we decided to just block all emails with EXE-in-ZIP attachments. Daniel

New .exe virus in.zip file via mail

by Mike Kellenberger

Hi all I've been contacted by a couple of customers which caught a new virus in the last few days, sent by e-mail in a .zip file containing an .exe. (yes, there are still people out there who open these kind of attachments if they come from a known address) The .zip file passes our AV on the mailserver (Kaspersky) as well as our desktop AV (Symantec) with the newest definitions. Once infected, it spreads via e-mail (probably through the outlook e-mail profile, it authenticates nicely against our mailserver anyway) blasting out hundreds of mails in a single short session only to sleep again until the next day... Has anybody else seen this? Is there a name or details or cure fo it yet? Regards, Mike -- Mike Kellenberger | Escapenet GmbH www.escapenet.ch +41 52 235 0700/04 Skype mikek70atwork

Re: [swinog] FortiVM feedback

by Daniel Rechsteiner

Hi Antoine, > Has anybody evaluated this solution or is running in production ? Any > feedback would be welcome. We have a FortiVM in production use for several years now and we are happy with it. Performance is good, it's stable, no major problems. There might be differences in performance concerning the ASICs as mentioned by Ralf, but for our use performance was always more than enough. One caveat: Don't use the vmxnet2 or vmxnet3 drivers for the NICs. Use the e1000. FortiNet provides images with vmxnet* drivers, but this configuration is not supported by VMware for vsphere. It has been working until vsphere 5.5. With vsphere 5.5 the FortiVM freezes at every snapshot taken. We then changed the NIC type to e1000, no problems since then. Please note that the FortiVM is just a replacement for a FortiGate. It does not use SDDC as the FortiGate-VMX. Daniel

FortiVM feedback

by Antoine Benkemoun-Andre

Dear colleagues, We are in the process of evaluating “cloud" firewall solutions such as FortiVM. The promise of these virtual appliances looks interesting and it seems like a great fit given our current infrastructure is based off of Fortigate physical appliances. Nonetheless, I can’t help but think that given the virtual appliance nature of these solutions there could be a number of limitations to it. Has anybody evaluated this solution or is running in production ? Any feedback would be welcome. Also for our sales friends, if you can provide us a competitive quote off-list we’re interested as the pricing we’ve received so far is a bit steep. Have a nice day and thank you for your help, Antoine
