SimpleDNS has provided rock solid DNS services for our company for many years.
Our customer's depend on us to keep their Internet related services running smoothly and with SimpleDNS we rarely worry about any DNS trouble.
A lot of time and effort has gone into this product and it shows!

Rhian D. Block - www.vazoom.com

We have been using Simple DNS for over two years. It has never failed us. Looking after 30000+ domains and increasing rapidly was quite a nightmare until we started working with Simple DNS. Our experience with Simple DNS has been nothing but smooth, clean and stable. When it comes to Windows based DNS services, I have never found anything to be as fast, comprehensive, and easy to use as Simple DNS.
Thanks for such a great product and your active contribution to the web hosting community.

Gally R. - www.site123.com

I just wanted to say how massively I am impressed with JH Software and Simple DNS - I think you have an excellent product on your hands and I simply admire the way you keep your customers informed about latest changes and new features; additionally the speed at which SimpleDNS is v5 is being developed is excellent. I cannot wait to see where SimpleDNS will be in a years' time - the best DNS server for Windows? Definitely! Though isn't it already? ;)
Well done!

Warren Ashcroft - www.redfoxuk.com

Top class software, we've been using it for years and never had any problems. I'd highly recommend this software to any Windows administrator. Thanks.

Dave Geoghegan - www.webworld.ie

Simple DNS truly pays for itself. The synthesized DNS records feature makes me over $100.00 a month from DomainSponsor by redirecting abandoned & unused domains that have been pointed to us, but are not actually used as a hosted/alias domain. Instead of taking up valuable resources, I get reimbursed. Thanks for such a great product and your active participation in the web hosting community.

Joe Rebis - www.ephost.com

What can I say but, "Wow!"?
I am not a computer expert, but can generally make them do what I want. I looked over SimpleDNS for several days before downloading and trying the product. What sold me was the very complete documentation that was available online. The manual is written very well and in clear terms.
I have now purchased the license for one server and will purchase the second when I get further along with the project and have a second DNS server in the system.
I am very glad I stumbled across SimpleDNS. You can be very proud of your product.

Dick Mobley - www.acsalaska.net

I just have to say that getting support from you guys has always been hassle free. I really appreciate your quick responses and the fact that you don't nickel and dime people for tech support. All of this on top of the fact that you have a great product. Keep up the good work.

Brian Howe - www.nwnetcom.com

I first discovered SimpleDNS while researching software for tools my first book on Internet Technologies (The iNet Certification Study guide). I needed software that was not only easy to use, yet delivered what it promised. Having worked in the Unix/Linux world for quite awhile, I expected to find lots of DNS offerings for Windows, but was amazed at how few there actually were. Not only were the choices limited, but the quality was pitiful!
Then I put SimpleDNS though the testing ringer! Not only did SimpleDNS deliver what it promised, but it offered more features than the Linux product I had been using for years! It wasn't long before I converted my own DNS server from Bind on Red-hat to SimpleDNS on Windows 2000 Pro. That was 6 years ago (1999) and to this day, I still rely on SimpleDNS as my primary name server.
Even with high-speed connections, my customer's need the most efficient Internet access possible. By placing the DNS server on their local, we achieve an overall performance gain of about 27% (based on a single T1 line (1.5MBPs) and 150 PCs). This is a significant savings in bandwidth and the performance is noticeable. My customers, most of whom do not have I.T. staff, have become their own primary name server so DNS changes not only happen right away, but thanks to SimpleDNS can be done by a non-technical staff person with minimal training.
When it comes to Windows based DNS services, I have never found anything to be as fast, feature-rich, and easy to use as SimpleDNS. Keep up the great work!

..... many years later ....
I'm still using Simple DNS. The dev team is incredibly responsive to feature requests and any minimal buglets have been fixed so fast its unreal.
Thanks Jesper & Co.

Alex Broens - www.sambar.ch

Being a mid-sized company, we do not have the technical resources to know every aspect of specific systems such as DNS.
After researching for an easy to administer solution, JH Software's Simple DNS Plus was the clear choice. Although the price of this product made it attractive from the start, it turned out to be the easy of use, usable features, excellent documentation, and integrated help that won us over.
Keep up the excellent work!

Bill Mitchell - www.jj-invision.com

We've been a SimpleDNS customer for quite awhile and I can tell you there isn't a better DNS Solution on the market with as clean and stable an installation as SimpleDNS. We migrated out of a huge datacenter's custom linux DNS solution with a sigh of relief and have even performed a migration of several hundred domains since then with Simple DNS and it could not have been easier. We migrated a user with over 50 domains on their web server to a new web server and the DNS migration took literally less than 15 seconds to update all the appropriate records and quickly thereafter our secondary was singing the same tune from across the country!
Using the http and api's couldn't be simpler either. If you need to host your own DNS, look no further.
Might I also add, we've been using SimpleFailover for several clients with the same, "SimpleSuccess"!
Thank you JH Software!

Russell Fleming - www.legaldata.com

This product is the perfection of DNS-software - simple to install, simple to use, simple to manage, simple to upgrade - It's just one of those very few awesome products that does what it promise! We have been running simple dns for almost a year now and it just keep on going - without any interference from us in the process, it runs without a single glitch! We warmly recommend this product to everyone searching for the DNS software's Rolls Royce - don't look more - you have found it! This is an excellent piece of software! Thank you JH Software for making our lives easier!

TakeMarket - www.takemarket.se

Great product, thank you.
It's always a nice surprise to find a product that actually does what it says it will. Easy to install and manage. Since installing your product, chicksNchaps UK Dating has seen a marked improvement in mail delivery and general DNS performance.

chicksNchapsUK Dating - www.chicksnchaps.co.uk

I have tried other DNS products and none compares to Simple DNS Plus. Simple DNS Plus is a really affordable product that made our administration really easy from an automation standpoint. At one point we thought about using MS DNS, Bind, and slew of others, but why when your product offered us an array of additional features. I hope you guys keep up the good work on a solid product and great support.

Charles Brown - www.infinitehost.com

Awesome, We've used it for years, it's a great product - simple, EZ to use, and very stable. This was the first in a series of steps to fire the ISP/Hosting company used before... Now with Simple DNS Plus (and some other products) we are 100% free of others...
Simple DNS Plus is exactly that, it's simple, simple to use, simple to understand. We tried several other DNS product, none where a EZ or simple to install and use.
And best of all, when needed the company has been very responsive to input. JH Software continues to upgrade and enhance the product, currently we are Beta testing version 4, and are looking forward to it's final.

Rick - www.xdr2.net

We use Simple DNS Plus in our Service Provider for more than 1.000 web sites zones and this software has incredible performance and stability, congratulations for JH.

Matheus Quincozes - www.vegait.com.br

Simple DNS Plus is a great product.
We use it to host clans for netgaming and we are very satisfied.

Gamesclan.it - www.gamesclan.it

I've been using Simple DNS Plus for my home business for quite some time now. I have been looking at other products over the past few weeks, related to my day job. No other product offers SDNS' simplicity of management and reach features. Other servers that try to come close, are way out of SDNS' price range. On the rare occasions that I have requested support, JHSoft's support staff were always courteous, helpful and prompt. You've got a great product, keep up the excellent work!

Dov Zamir - www.zamir-enterprises.com

Simple DNS Plus is easy and quick to set up, comprehensive in its help files, extremely secure, and works well even under extremely heavy loads.
I've thrown 100 new connections per second at it over an extended period of time, and it ran beautifully. And you don't need a high-end server to run it successfully... for over two years, we ran if on an old 700 MHz AMD Athlon just fine. We're now running it on a 2.4 GHz P4.
And, unlike certain other software providers, the author of Simple DNS Plus is quick to respond with help in answering your questions... he doesn't just sell you the software then leave you hanging.
Great software... it's the only software I brag about in the webmaster forums I frequent.

Darren Brothers - Hills Capital Management - www.hillscapital.com

Fast, stable, scalable. It's perfect for small and growing business. The price is ok and its features are very good. Try it!

ProgettoHosting.com - www.progettohosting.com

Simple DNS Plus is by far the best DNS tool we have come across. We were upgrading our network when something went wrong with Microsoft DNS. Needless to say, Microsoft was not available for comment, leaving us with a huge problem.
Simple DNS Plus solved it for us in no time!

E. Jager - www.chosting.nl

As an Security Specialist SME who aided the development of the INET+ Certification, I am very pleased with the JHSoft's DNS server. Fast, effective, and user-freindly. With everything a corporation or smaller site would need to host zones. I use the Server to run my private Websites, and recommend it to all via my company NISecurity.

Kevin Beaird - www.wonker.com

Reliability, Simplicity, Value and Must-Have.
I'm talking about "Simple DNS PLUS".
We have recommended it to all our ADSL fed clients for over a year now. It pays for it's self quickly and we never get clients on the phone having problems.
Don't think about it. Buy it!!!
I rate it 5 Stars.

Cygnet Interactive Australia - www.cyg.net.au

Very good tool, since I did a migration from one server to another I just copied the DNS files. Genial, easy to use, easy to understand. It's a must have.

end2end solutions - IDATOR NV - www.e2e.be

We supply 'Simple DNS Plus' to some of our clients who host their own domains/servers from their own ADSL ISP Internet Access. This is an excellent Software Based DNS Server and we would recommend it's use to anyone!

UK2 Hosting - www.uk2hosting.net

I have never learned how to setup DNS server before, and have no idea how to setup one. But I need to setup one, and Simple DNS Plus saves me from all the hard work!
Great Software!

Pewkee Trans Worldwide Express Co., Ltd. - www.pewkee.com

I've had nothing but good luck with Simple DNS Plus! The documentation and online support is second to none. Turnaround time for e-mail support is very timely. Way to go JH Software!

NeighborhoodNET - www.neighborhoodnet.net

SimpleDNS is the most feature rich and intuitive DNS server I have ever used. I’ve been running it for about a year and a half hosting a few hundred records. SimpleDNS was the first DNS server I ever used and it will surely be the last.

Bill - www.diywebserver.com

MS DNS was a nightmare...
Simple DNS Plus is a lifesaver and one of the few products that actually does what it says it does.

blast design studio, inc. - www.blastweb.com

After watching a colleague struggle for a year with Microsoft DNS, I decided to have a look around for alternatives when it came my turn to implement DNS in October 2001. I found Simple DNS, installed it and started using it immediately on a few dozen domains. I have never looked back. I recommend Simple DNS wholeheartedly and have added it to our short list of recommended products for any server owner.

Ann Lynnworth - www.href.com

Simple DNS Plus is very stable and user friendly. We are using this program for almost a year without any problems. The management of secondary name servers is fast and reliable. The best DNS-program for the Windows platform!

Jeroen Taalman - www.anywise.com

We have used MS DNS services under NT4 and 2000 Server and BIND under RH Linux, and frankly Simple DNS Plus is much easier to administer, and is much more reliable and resistant to hacks than BIND or MS DNS Services. This product also makes an excellent addition to your local LAN in a caching only setup to avoid the long delays reaching your DSL or Cable provider's DNS servers.
I would recommend Simple DNS Plus without reservation to anyone looking for a product superior to BIND or MS DNS Services.

JamesNetworks.com - www.jamesnetworks.com

We have been using Simple DNS Plus for over two years. It has never failed us. We host tons of sites and it has saved us lots of time and money. We run several Windows 2000 DNS servers as secondary servers and use Simple DNS plus to manage our large collection of domains. Like some others I even added a web based interface and can now offer management of individual domains to their true owners - securely.

Dennis Wolfe - www.thewolfenet.com

This great DNS allow us to gain a comfortable time on troubleshooting DNS problems of our customers.
We have discovered this software few months ago and we have adopted it !

Dirk Van Bellinghen - www.hospitable.be

Simple DNS Plus is the best solution you can find for DNS management. It's not just the fact that it works with ZERO ERRORS. Is the wonderful fact that you can setup domains in SECONDS, you make changes in SECONDS, you can delete any domain in SECONDS and you can manage anything related to your DNS server with the more speed possible.
Let me tell you something: If you know how to setup a DNS server, like using Linux, you know that you need to know perfectly WHAT ARE YOU DOING. The most little error in your tables and your DNS is out. You can forget all that wasted time if you change to Simple DNS Plus. Otherwise, if you don't have any idea of what a DNS server is, Simple DNS Plus has one of the best help files I've ever seen. You'll be using your DNS server, managing domains and having a perfect DNS server in hours. For developers and hosting based companies, Simple DNS Plus is the perfect real-time solution, since it uses text files for the registry. You can make any
modifications using PERL, ASP, PHP, etc.
I've been using Simple DNS Plus for a year and i have to say that I just love it. It is the most well wasted money I've made for my system.
About my English, I'm sorry. I speak Spanish.

Francisco Zarabozo A. - galeza.com

WOW!!! I upgraded to simple dns and it took about 20 mins to transfer all of my records, including pulling the boot file from my Microsoft registry with your little tool!! What a great piece of Software, you deserve the DNS Hall of Fame for this!! I understand DNS, but with this, you barely need to see your monitor, Keep it simple, so we can spend more time on more important stuff. Do you think you could write an operating system?
Thank You.

Scott Damron - www.globalmtn.com

I have used Simple DNS for 2 years now, and I can tell you that it is a great program. I run web servers and Simple DNS lets me concentrate on other problems because I have never had any problems with Simple DNS. Don't let the name Simple fool you, it is powerful, and at the same time easy to use.

Otis - www.kysales.com

Excellent! What more can I say?
Very easy to use and setup.
Much better than any other DNS server.
Keep up the good work.

Wesley Cornell - www.digital-compass.net

I was in search of a nice DNS server app for my Windows NT Server. Since most DNS server app's are for Linux I had to find one for Windows NT. The best one that I could find was Simple DNS Plus. Using my old setup it took me awhile to input all the information for my domain. Now I can do it all in 2 seconds. I highly recommend Simple DNS Plus :-)

James Crivellone - www.soundcardcentral.com

We develop and host web sites, and it is very important to have a complete solution to provide the best services to our customers, and with Simple DNS, we can provide those services. It was transparent to our customers setting up, and very simple to install and configure. We were fortunate to find Simple DNS, and look forward to years of service.

CYBERNETIXS - www.cybernetixs.com

Genial!      [IN GERMAN]
Ich bin seit mehreren Jahren mit dem Thema DNS beschäftigt. Habe Win NT 4.0 (2000) mit BIND DNS vorab installiert. BIND ist sehr kompliziert und Anwender unfreundlich! Simple DNS überzeugte mich in EINER STUNDE! Installieren, konfigurieren und vergessen! Einfach ein genialer DNS Server! Viel Erfolg dem Team von Simple DNS!
(Keep it up - GREAT JOB !!)

Marcel Wiedmer - www.media-design.ch

I am new to configuring DNS records. This product got me underway in a matter of minutes. Great online support as well as via email. This is an incredibly easy to run and configure program. It's worth every penny in the time spent not worrying about DNS. (Set it and forget it!)

Avalon Technologies - www.avalon-tech.com

Wonderful product !!!
Simple and easy to use, beats the heck out of having to configure everything manually for each new domain, with Simple DNS it takes 10 seconds to setup a new domain.

Hosting X-treme Web Services - www.hosting-x-treme.com

I'm using this product for over a year now and it didn't disappoint me once! It is a great product which can easily be used especially because it has lot's of, easy to manage, configuration options. When you want to automate things it also has many options which make working with DNS a lot easier!

Henri Wiering - www.kixtart.com

We have tried several different applications for DNS, and none of them were easy to train a person on. Linux was too deep for just the standard employee that had to work with DNS every day, but simple DNS really did the job.
In under 20 minutes of showing someone how to use it, they can administrate it fully and without problems. Simple DNS really is the answer!

Frank Arena - www.immenet.com

We have used Microsoft DNS for years, but when our website was upgraded, we found Simple DNS Plus the right choice.
Simple DNS Plus is very easy to administer. And it handles the large volume of name server lookup from both internal and external hosts very well.
It has been running for more than two months now without a single glitch!
Thanks JH Software and keep up the good work!

Roland Lyngvig - www.realdanmark.dk

After searching for months to find a reliable DNS server that can do everything we needed, we found Simple DNS Plus.
This is the best product I have ever seen.
We were able to setup our domains (over a thousand) and everything works great.
Keep up the good work JH Software!

Patrick Jobin - www.wheelerjobin.com

We ran a widely known DNS program ported to NT4.0 for five years. It carries a lot of overhead and does not have the features of Simple DNS Plus. Over the last four months, the service would randomly quit running. If we were lucky, the service could be started again remotely with a net start command. If not, off to the office to manually reset the service... usually in the middle of the night. Interestingly, when the service went down on the primary, it would usually take the service on the secondary with it. We ran across Simple DNS Plus on the Google search engine and decided to try it. Absolutely one of the best choices we've made so far. Although it's only been running for a few weeks, it's been great. Easy to install, easy to configure...and, features that other DNS programs don't have.

Dale Herling - www.dynacom.net

Looking after 7000+ domains and increasing rapidly was quite a nightmare.
With 1/2 hour restart times under Bind 8 and regular failures.
Moving over to Simple DNS was like a breath of fresh air. Stability, Speed AND easy to use.
I have now purchased 2 licenses and the third DNS server will be promoted to this software this week...

Karl Gray - www.ghoulnet.com

Owning a web hosting company in Anchorage, Alaska is hard enough.
Maintaing 4 DNS's with nearly 3000 web sites is even harder.
Simple DNS has made our Network Administrators life much easier and our network more reliable and as solid as ever.
Thanks for a great product.

Dan Young - www.digitalrage.net

I have to commend you on one of the most excellent software products I've ever seen. Believe me, I used to write software reviews and my job involved installing and evaluating literally thousands of software products. I developed quite a "nose" and know a good product within minutes of installing it. I had my entire network running with DNS Plus within 10 minutes!
Keep up the good work!

Harold Gregg Jr. - virtualstampede.com

We stumbled across Simple DNS Plus by a mere coincident.
As it happened, we were about to change DNS-strategy for our ISP operations.
After a few tests, we realized the potential benefits and the simplicity Simple DNS Plus could bring us – especially since Windows was already our primary operating system.
For many ISPs, DNS is a necessary evil, which often means that one resorts to arduous solutions based on Linux/Unix systems.
So we are very happy with the much more convenient way Simple DNS Plus handles our day-to-day DNS operations.
Our daily request-rate has passed 800,000 per DNS server box, and Simple DNS Plus easily keeps up with the increasing load.
Our existing servers could easily handle much more traffic, but we are now expanding our Simple DNS Plus "farm" with another 2 boxes.

Hans Mosegaard - www.anet.dk

The VEVIDA.NL hosting service found out about this great product of yours. Currently our secondary servers are running with Simple DNS, but in a short time we plan to upgrade the Primary servers as well. We also plan worldwide VEVIDA.COM deployment of this product since it's exactly what a Win2k-based ISP needs.

Jan Vlastuin - CEO VEVIDA.COM - www.vevida.nl

This is best DNS server product for NT we have ever used! We are now replacing many of our MS DNS server installations with this product instead of upgrading to the new MS DNS, and so far we are having no problems at all, even with Windows 2000. We are already achieving cost savings, reduced administration, improved performance and overall reliability as a result of this product! Good going JHSoft! Keep up the good work! Let's show em all how it's done!

Prolan Newtwork Services - www.nx3.net

The DNS service we were paying for went down for more than four hours during a site promotion we were having. We can't even fathom the business we lost because of this. Fortunately, we found Simple DNS Plus which allows us to manage our own DNS information in house. We thank you for developing such an easy to use but powerful product.

Timothy Barton - www.kingdomware.net

In my search for DNS servers to Windows NT platform, I found the Simple DNS Server to meet my requirements. And after a few tests there was no doubt that this was DNS server I was looking for. It has a lot of great features which simplifies the daily administration of a DNS server and it also has great performance.

Ronnie Bach Nielsen - www.dandomain.dk

Brilliant software. Simple to install and manage.
Turbo Fast DNS lookups. Superb Program... 
I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to setup their own DNS servers.
Jhsoft - keep up the good work.

David Farrelly - www.webhost.ie

Simple DNS has been a reliable and easy to administer solution for my DSL-based home network. Following the initial setup, I've hardly had to even think about it.
Great job!

Jeffrey Rankin - www.jeffr.net

What a great product ! After searching for an easy to use DNS software we came across Simple DNS and I must say, it is the best !
Simple DNS has saved us alot of money we would have had to put out for a DNS service, now we make money using Simple DNS. Thank you for a great product !!

Derek Ruff - www.vegasmedia1.com

I stumbled across your product Simple DNS Plus two days ago.
Installed it, played with it, tested it and it works great!
I took all the Mico$oft DNS crap off our servers, we only use M$ DNS now as secondary DNS servers.
We already bought a license and we are very happy with the product.
We just wish we had come across your great product earlier.
Maybe you should advertise a little more with DNS plus?

Ton Geen - www.nlweb.net

I have been using it for just 1/2 hour and I love your program. It seems to be so easy, and yet so versatile. Great job.

Kam Etedali - www.net-star.net

I am the owner/Systems Administrator for an ISP in Lancaster/Logan Ohio. I was turned on to your DNS Program from a friend of mine just tonight. I liked it so well that I bought it immediately and set up my whole ISP in about 10 minutes. All I can say is "GREAT F... PROGRAM"!
Best DNS program for Win based computers I've ever seen! Thanks for the great progy. Now maybe I won't have to shift things towards Unix based OS.

John Sheline - www.buckeyeinternet.com

My experience with Simple DNS has been nothing but smooth. Why deal with cryptic DNS tables when I can have a GUI do the same job for me. Before Simple DNS I used another GUI DNS program. This DNS program had many flaws in it, especially when I wanted to reload the DNS files after making simple updates. As for Simple DNS I am happy to see the update for use as an NT Service. For now I can only say that Simple DNS is a very well structured program which is simple to use and maneuver through. Thanks for the awesome program.

Rhian D. Block - www.y100.com

Thanks for your support & congratulations for being able to produce an incredibly simple solution for a hitherto rather mystical area of the internet. Simple DNS Plus makes the BIND solution look absurdly complex.

Leo Julius - Graaf Computer Systems Pty. Ltd. - www.graaf.com

I have used just about every DNS Server software ever developed for the Windows platform. With Simple DNS Plus, I had a smooth Install and flawless setup.  In all my dealings with DNS Software over the years I must say your product is light years ahead of all the rest! Simple DNS Plus is one outstanding product!  DNS Servers have been a grey area for Administrators of large and small networks since the Internet became popular. Configuring DNS servers has been a thorn in the side of many network administrators for years with most obtaining bad to poor results...I know I have tried them all!
Keep up the great work. You have won the support from me in less than 20 minutes of using Simple DNS Plus!

Gary Brown - www.galaxyworlds.com

The BEST!
MS-DNS has driven us nuts.
Other Win32 DNS servers were cumbersome and not as easy to handle.
Simple DNS Plus hasn't stopped once in months.
We've added a Web interface to administer domains, only feature we were missing.
Keep it up

Alex Broens - www.sambar.ch

Your product is the best kept secret on the web. Even though I have an intermediate understanding of DNS, your product really simplified the whole process. The default settings ability in zone creation is an amazing time-saver. When you compare your product to other DNS management systems like DNS Boss, etc. it's an amazing deal! In fact, I almost didn't consider it because you seem to aim it toward cable modem and ADSL users and I wasn't sure about using it on my production systems. I have it running on two nameservers for my 12,000+ hit-per-day web site, and resolving about 25 different domains. And I would swear that Simple DNS is significantly faster then NT's own DNS server (and hopefully more reliable). Great work - you can expect to see my 2 license registration in the next few days.
