A new start for DNS Spy

Hi all!

I’m excited to announce a strategic handover of DNS Spy to SecurityTrails with the goal to ensure both the future and growth of DNS Spy.

The right people, at the right time#

For the last several months, I have been focussing more and more of my energy into Oh Dear . I’ve not been able to dedicate my full attention to the work that needs to be done on DNS Spy and I owe all of you an apology for that.

This isn’t fair to the DNS Spy users.

By handing over DNS Spy, I know its users will continue to be served properly. And I can focus, with renewed energy, on building an even bigger future for the Oh Dear users.

When this opportunity presented itself, it was a win-win for both sides.

The next steps#

I will remain on board for the next 3 months to ensure the smoothest transition possible.

This includes, among other things:

  • migrating to a new, more powerful server environment
  • migrating to a new helpdesk/support system
  • ensuring the platform stability on the new servers

Most importantly: as a DNS Spy user, you should not notice anything. Both the migration and handover will be done transparently and without monitoring interruptions.

Here for any questions!#

DNS Spy is the very first product I ever built as a solo-founder. It will always have a special place in my heart and memories.

It has taught me a lot about building a product, a community and a business.

I want to make time for any of the DNS Spy users that have questions or just want to reach out and talk. My e-mail address is [email protected] .

It’s been the loyalty and support of the DNS Spy users that have given me the opportunity to start this business and focus full-time on it. Without DNS Spy, I would never have been able to go fully independent.

To all of you: Thank You.

I wish you all the best,

Mattias
