On January 24, 2007, GoDaddy deactivated the domain of computer security site Seclists.org, taking 250,000 pages of security content offline. [9] The shutdown resulted from a complaint from Myspace to GoDaddy regarding 56,000 usernames and passwords posted a week earlier to the full-disclosure mailing list and archived on the Seclists.org site as well as many other websites.
The owner of self-serve web archiving tool Archive.today has expressed concern over Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 not passing the contents of this field on to the authoritative DNS server for Archive.today, and has in response configured the site's authoritative DNS servers to consider Cloudflare DNS requests invalid—effectively blocking 1.1.1.1 from resolving the website DNS records.
Google Public DNS was announced on December 3, 2009, [1] in an effort described as "making the web faster and more secure."

The DNS protocol specifies that when a client queries for a specific record type (e.g., TXT) for a certain domain name (e.g., example.com), all records of that type must be returned in the same DNS message. That may lead to large transactions with lots of "unnecessary" information being transferred and/or uncertainty about which TXT record to use.

DNS hosting service is optimal when the provider has multiple servers in various geographic locations that provide resilience and minimize latency for clients around the world. By operating DNS nodes closer to end users, DNS queries travel a much shorter distance, resulting in faster Web address resolution speed.
A wildcard DNS record is a record in a DNS zone that will match requests for non-existent domain names. A wildcard DNS record is specified by using a * as the leftmost label (part) of a domain name, e.g. *.example.com.
