DNSSEC
In 2010, DNSSEC (DNS Security) was officially implemented for cryptographically singing zone files to avoid tampering. The WorldServers platform was an early adopter to this initiative and in mid 2011, DNSSEC was mandatory for domains hosted on these servers, the brokering between the domain registry and platform was handled by the hosting platform of AGCC World.
