Why It’s Important to Protect Not Only the Website but Also DNS Records

Protecting DNS records is just as important as securing the site itself.

Website security is traditionally associated with protection from hacks, viruses, or DDoS attacks, but in reality, there is another critically important element that even experienced website owners often overlook. This refers to DNS records — the fundamental mechanism that ensures users land on your legitimate website rather than a malicious copy created by attackers. DNS, or the Domain Name System, is the system that translates human-friendly domain names into technical IP addresses. Essentially, it is the “phone book” of the internet. If DNS works incorrectly or is modified by an unauthorized party, your website may become inaccessible, visitors may be redirected to phishing pages, and domain mail services can become completely blocked. This is why DNS protection is just as important as safeguarding servers or web applications.

What Should Be Rethought After the Cloudflare Outage

Vulnerability of infrastructure on which millions of websites depend

When a small website goes down, it’s a problem only for its owner. But when Cloudflare, one of the largest infrastructure service providers on the internet, goes down, the problem becomes global. The latest outage once again demonstrated that the modern internet depends on Cloudflare far more than it may seem at first glance. Tens of thousands of websites stop loading, some applications behave unpredictably, and even major international platforms fall into digital “darkness.” This is not just a technical incident — it is a reason to reevaluate your architecture and understand how the internet works today.

What can happen if you do not update your security system for years

Outdated security systems may seem like protection—until they’re put to the test

In the modern world, the issues of cybersecurity and protection of important facilities are extremely urgent. However, many people still treat the updating of security systems lightly — as if “it works, so it’s fine.” Practice shows that a system that has not been updated for years turns into a time bomb. A vivid proof of this is the recent high-profile robbery in one of the most famous museums in the world.

HTTPS as a Factor of Trust and Google Ranking

HTTPS has become an important trust signal and ranking factor for websites on Google

The Internet today is not just a network of websites — it’s an entire ecosystem where security, trust, and user convenience have become key indicators of quality. One of the most visible elements of this security is HTTPS — a protocol that ensures secure data exchange between the user and the website. If in the past HTTPS was associated exclusively with banking services or online stores, now it has become the standard for any modern website. Google has long established that the presence of an SSL certificate — which enables HTTPS — affects not only user safety but also a website’s position in search results.

How to Use ChatGPT Safely and Verify the Information You Receive

Verifying information and critical thinking when using ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a powerful tool that generates text-based answers from a vast dataset, but it is not a database of facts. It produces plausibly sounding responses (answers that seem convincing and logical, even if they may be inaccurate or fabricated) by relying on language patterns. This means that even when answers sound confident, they may still be false or incomplete. Reviews show that the model can make mistakes in simple questions and continue making them even after corrections. This means its conclusions should be treated as suggestions rather than absolute truth. That is why it is important for users to follow safety rules and verify the information.

What to Do After the End of Windows 10 Support in October 2025

Windows 10 support ends in October 2025

On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. For millions of users and businesses worldwide, this marks the end of an era: system security, stability, and compatibility will no longer be guaranteed.

According to StatCounter, in 2024 Windows 10 accounted for over 55% of PC usage in Ukraine. This means hundreds of thousands of companies and individuals will need to decide what to do next.

In this article, we will explain what the end of support actually means, what risks it brings, and what migration options are available. We will also look at how to leverage modern infrastructure solutions from RX-NAME to avoid problems and keep your business secure.

How to Secure Online Payments on Your Website

Secure your site to make online payments safe for your customers

According to Ukraine’s State Service of Special Communications, the number of cyberattacks on the financial sector increased by over 40% in 2024. The most common threats were phishing, payment data theft, and malware. In 2025, this trend continues, with attackers actively using artificial intelligence to create more convincing scams.

Online businesses that accept payments have become primary targets. If your website is not protected, you risk not only losing customers but also facing penalties for non-compliance with security standards.

RX-name ensures that clients can safely purchase services — from domain registration to hosting. Let’s look at practical steps to secure online payments on your website and build customer trust.

SSL Certificate. Which One to Choose and Why You Really Need It

Why an SSL certificate is key to website trust and security

In an era when cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, protecting user data is not an additional option, but a mandatory requirement for any website. One of the key tools that ensures online security is an SSL certificate. It is responsible for data encryption, protects against interception of information and increases trust in the resource. But how to choose the right certificate? Let’s figure out how the different types differ, why HTTPS is important for every project and how to easily enable protection via RX-NAME.

Let’s Encrypt vs Paid SSL Certificates. Advantages, Disadvantages, and When to Pay

Comparison of free and paid SSL certificates

In today’s digital world, protecting user data has become not just good practice, but a mandatory requirement for any website. Search engines and browsers are increasingly strict with resources that lack a secure connection, marking them as unsafe. An SSL certificate provides this protection, and today website owners can choose between free solutions like Let’s Encrypt and commercial (paid) certificates from reputable certification authorities.

Will modern SSL certificates withstand the challenges of the quantum computing era?

The revolution in quantum computing is approaching faster than many expected. Every year brings new breakthroughs in the development of quantum processors, and the question arises more and more often: Is modern cryptography ready for the quantum future? Today’s SSL certificates, which ensure traffic protection and confidentiality, may become vulnerable within the next decade.
