Classic DNS - free DNS service with every domain name
Unlike the majority of providers, we provide a free DNS service with all domain names registered with us. Our Classic DNS is a combination of Unicast DNS and Anycast DNS networks. We understand how mission-critical your domain name is, so we don’t cut corners with your DNS.
Free DNS service with every domain name
- Your traffic will be routed to the nearest available server on the network. This will reduce lookup times and improve performance.
- The likelihood of downtime is significantly reduced. This is due to no single point of failure and increased availability.
- Your traffic will be shared between name servers. This will balance the load and reduce traffic bottlenecks.
- Enhanced security features in our free DNS reduce the possibility of DDoS attacks.
- The Classic DNS uses DNSSEC security to confirm data. It also checks that connections are with genuine servers. This scrutiny eliminates hack attacks and redirection to spurious sites.
- The secondary DNS server acts as a backup in the event the principal server fails. It’s updated from the principal DNS server so it’s always a real time version.
Upgrade to Professional DNS
Our Professional DNS is powered by the fastest and most reliable Anycast networks in the world. It’s a single solution that offers the redundancy and speed of multiple Anycast networks. If you need a highly available, low latency DNS service with advanced traffic routing features, this is the one for you.
How does Classic DNS work?
Our Classic DNS uses Unicast DNS architecture nodes deployed in single server units dispersed globally. When a customer’s browser looks up your website’s IP address, our Anycast DNS network optimises the DNS resolution speed through a ring of easily accessible, always-on name servers around the world. Our Classic DNS network means the closest server is never far away.
