- Meshnet Feature for Personal Encrypted Networks: NordVPN offers a unique feature called Meshnet, which allows users to connect their devices directly and securely over the internet. This means you can create your own private, encrypted network for activities like gaming, file sharing, or remote access to your home devices from anywhere in the world.
- RAM-Only Servers for Enhanced Security: Unlike many VPN providers, NordVPN uses RAM-only (diskless) servers. Since these servers run entirely on volatile memory, all data is wiped with every reboot. This ensures that no user data is stored long-term, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches and enhancing overall security.
- Servers in a Former Military Bunker: Some of NordVPN's servers are housed in a former military bunker located deep underground. This unique location provides an extra layer of physical security against natural disasters and unauthorized access, ensuring that the servers are protected in all circumstances.
- NordLynx Protocol with Double NAT Technology: NordVPN developed its own VPN protocol called NordLynx, built around the ultra-fast WireGuard protocol. What sets NordLynx apart is its implementation of a double Network Address Translation (NAT) system, which enhances user privacy without sacrificing speed. This innovative approach solves the potential privacy issues inherent in the standard WireGuard protocol.
- Dark Web Monitor Feature: NordVPN includes a feature known as Dark Web Monitor. This tool actively scans dark web sites and forums for credentials associated with your email address. If it detects that your information has been compromised or appears in any data breaches, it promptly alerts you so you can take necessary actions to protect your accounts.
Radix, one of the world’s largest nTLD portfolio registries, announced today that it grossed $16.95M in total revenue in 2018, a 30% rise over its revenue in 2017. The registry’s net profit also grew by 45.6% in comparison to last year. Overall, Q4 2018 was its strongest quarter.
In the total annual revenue of $16.95M, 27% has been contributed by standard registrations and 60% by standard renewals. Radix’s premium domains cumulatively generated over $1.9M in revenue, of which 56% can be attributed to premium renewals. One-time premium sales contributed to $113K in revenue.
Based on registrars’ country, the top contributor to Radix’s revenue has been the US with 48% of the total share, followed by Germany with 12%, and China with 6%.
When compared to 2017, Radix’s renewal revenue has grown by 43%. This is indicative of Radix’s focus on maintaining a strong renewal rate through expansive end-customer marketing for its TLDs.
Currently, Radix is the only portfolio registry that has two of its nTLDs with over 1 million domain registrations each. While .ONLINE hit the 1M milestone in November 2018, .SITE joined the 1M league in February 2019.
