What happened?
We finally migrated from Cloudflare to our own DNS solution. This means that we are no longer restricted to a 1000 DNS records, which means that the domain limit will be increasing! This also means that account registration will be opening back up soon.
New changes
- New and improved public API
- Automatic documentation (api.frii.site/docs)
- Better emails
- Fixed translation page
- Improved stability and performance
- Squashed some bugs
Upcoming domain limit system
Currently you can create a maximum of 3 domains. In the new system, you will be able to create 3 "primary" domains, and infinite subdomains. New system example:
a.frii.site b.frii.site c.frii.site
d.friis.site - domain limit reached
subdomain.a.frii.site subdomain.b.frii.site subdomain.c.frii.site etc...
Performance
The overall performance has improve drastically. The old server took almost 20 seconds to start up! We have decreased that amount to under 3 seconds. Doing operations on domains might be slightly slower.
Here are some examples
| Name | old (approx. s) | new (approx. s) |
|---|---|---|
| Startup | 22 | 2.5 |
| Registering domain | 6 | 9 |
| Modifying content | 5 | 8 |
| Modifying type | 6 | 15 |
| Deleting domain | 7 | 9 |
The reason modifying a domain's type takes so much longer now, is because our DNS server does not support modifying a record type, which means that we have to delete the old record, and make a new one to replace it.
