GoDaddy manages more domains than any registrar on earth, so it has always been near the top of our provider integration list. There was just one problem: in May 2024, GoDaddy restricted its API to accounts holding ten or more domains — fifty for some endpoints. Overnight, certificate renewals broke, dynamic DNS scripts died, and every small business with one or two domains was locked out of automating anything.

Agentic AI means a system that acts on behalf of a specific person, within that person’s exact role and access permissions — not a general term for “smart” software. In data center infrastructure, agentic AI only becomes safe to deploy once three things already exist: a complete monitoring pipeline, an analytics pipeline, and a control pipeline governed by strict role-based access control.

With an increasing number of employees working from home, getting top-notch security software has become more important than ever before. While spam can be harmless and viewed as a minor productivity issue, it’s also a significant source of email-borne threats that can put the whole company at risk. Therefore, getting a robust, scalable anti-spam filter is now a necessity, especially for IT services providers and other large-scale use cases.

As development shifts toward agentic workflows, an AI agent is only as capable as the systems it can reach. Local MCP servers allow desktop CLI and IDE agents to execute multi-step tasks on your machine. But remote MCP servers (also called hosted MCP servers) extend that reach to cloud-based and background agents, allowing an agent running in a web browser, a CI runner, or a backend service to access external tools over HTTP without needing a developer’s machine running local child processes.
