A couple months back we came to terms with an issue regarding host names on our platform. We decided to look at prior art (i.e. heroku) for this on other cloud platforms and came to the conclusion that we needed to overhaul how host names and domain names were handled on our platform.
By implementing the ability to manage, and purchase domain names from the cloud platform, we have eliminated a couple design flaws in our system that were causing some issues.
We added a bunch of new UI/UX and features to the pool. These additions will make it easy for you to manage your domain name.
The first feature we added was the ability to add a domain to your mining pool. Prior to this change, you could not create a mining pool without a domain name. This required you to ‘guess’ how to add a pexapool.com subdomain. Now, we automatically create a pexapool.com subdomain for you and allow you to attach any domain name, as long as it’s either on the platform or you are able to update the DNS records with your current registrar. When adding a domain bought on the paltform, we automatically update the DNS records for you.
The second feature we added was the ability to manage your pools algorithms more conveniently. This new implementation also gives you multiple endpoints for each algorithm. When clicking Add Algorithm you can see the different subdomain names added as you keep adding domain names. These records must all be validated before we can start mining on them!
Remember, all of our products are secured with SSL certificates. It is vital that you point your DNS records properly so we can obtain an SSL certificate for you.
The third feature we added was the ability to purchase a domain name on the platform. This feature allowed us to expand into the domain space as well as manage your DNS records for you!
Being able to purchase a domain will ultimately help support the project and give you the ability to use additional features, and tools in the near future.
The fourth feature we added was the entire DNS management suite that your typical registrar will have. This feature includes managing name servers, custom resource records, email aliases, and your private contact information required by ICANN.
