Premium Cloud DNS Management For Fast, Secure & Reliable Websites

Anycast is a routing technology where the same IP address is announced from multiple locations simultaneously. When a DNS query is made, the Internet’s routing protocols automatically direct it to the nearest Anycast node. For a business, this means a visitor in Mumbai gets their DNS query answered by a nearby data center rather than one in Europe or the US, dramatically reducing resolution time. For global businesses, every customer worldwide benefits from low-latency DNS, which improves website load times and the overall user experience.

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds cryptographic authentication to DNS. Without it, attackers can use DNS spoofing or cache poisoning to redirect your visitors to fake websites without them or you knowing. If you handle customer data, process payments, or run any professional online presence, DNSSEC is strongly recommended. Our Managed Premium Cloud DNS includes fully managed DNSSEC, meaning we handle all signing, key management, and rotation automatically.

DNS Failover is an automated monitoring and recovery service. It continuously checks the health of your servers and services. If a server becomes unavailable, DNS Failover automatically updates your DNS records to point traffic to a pre-configured backup server, typically within seconds. This happens automatically, without human intervention, ensuring your visitors experience no disruption even during a server outage. DNS Failover is available as an add-on to our Premium Cloud DNS plan, with additional charges based on the number of IP addresses monitored.

With our Premium Cloud DNS, changes propagate instantly across all 27 data centers in our Anycast network, typically within seconds of being saved. Standard DNS services can take anywhere from 1 to 48 hours for changes to propagate across the internet, because the propagation depends on ISPs and resolvers refreshing their caches based on TTL values. While TTL still affects how quickly cached records refresh with individual resolvers, our network itself applies your changes instantly.

Secondary DNS maintains a synchronized backup copy of your DNS zone files on separate name servers. If your primary DNS encounters any issue, Secondary DNS takes over seamlessly, ensuring continuous availability. Yes, Secondary DNS is included in our Managed Premium Cloud DNS plan.

Yes, absolutely. You do not need to register your domain with us to use our Premium Cloud DNS. You update your domain’s name server (NS) records at your current registrar to point to our Premium DNS servers. Our team will assist you with this process and ensure a smooth, zero-downtime migration.

When you sign up for our Managed Premium Cloud DNS, our technical team imports all your existing DNS zone files and records from your current provider. We handle the entire technical process, verify that all records have been transferred correctly, and coordinate the timing of the name server update to ensure zero downtime for your live services. You do not need to do anything beyond giving us access to your current DNS configuration.

Our Premium Cloud DNS supports all standard and advanced DNS record types, including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA, PTR (Reverse DNS), NAPTR, and more. This covers everything from basic web hosting and email configuration to complex application routing, SPF/DKIM email authentication, and SSL certificate validation.

A 99.99% uptime guarantee means your DNS service is expected to be available 99.99% of the time. In practical terms, that allows for no more than approximately 52 minutes of downtime per year. This is achieved through our global Anycast redundancy. With 27 data centers across 6 continents, the failure of any individual node, or even multiple nodes simultaneously, does not impact DNS availability, as other nodes continue to serve queries.

Yes, indirectly but meaningfully. Page load speed is a confirmed Google ranking factor, and DNS resolution speed contributes to your server’s first byte time (TTFB). Faster DNS resolution means browsers connect to your server more quickly, improving overall page performance metrics, including Core Web Vitals. Additionally, Premium DNS reliability (99.99% uptime guarantee) ensures your site is always accessible to Google’s crawlers, and DNSSEC helps maintain your domain’s integrity, both positive signals for search engine trust.

Our Anycast DNS network distributes your DNS traffic across 27 data centers globally. In the event of a DDoS attack targeting your DNS, the traffic is distributed across the network rather than concentrated on a single server. Our infrastructure includes traffic filtering, rate limiting, and anomaly detection that identify and mitigate malicious traffic before it can overwhelm your DNS. This multi-layer approach ensures legitimate DNS queries continue to be answered even during large-scale DDoS attacks.

Reverse DNS (rDNS) maps an IP address back to a domain name, the opposite of how DNS normally works. It is most commonly required for mail server configuration: many email providers and spam filters check whether the sending server’s IP address has a valid PTR record that points to a legitimate domain. Without correct Reverse DNS, your outgoing emails are more likely to be marked as spam. Reverse DNS is also used in network diagnostics, security auditing, and some compliance requirements. Our Premium Cloud DNS includes full Reverse DNS support.

Yes. Our Premium Cloud DNS plan includes unlimited DNS queries, meaning there is no cap on the number of DNS lookups your domains can serve. Our Anycast network is designed to handle extremely high query volumes, and the same infrastructure serves major global enterprises. Whether you experience a sudden viral moment, a major product launch, or seasonal e-commerce peaks (like Diwali sale traffic), our DNS infrastructure scales to meet demand automatically with zero manual intervention.

TTL (Time To Live) is a value in each DNS record that tells DNS resolvers how long to cache that record before checking for updates. Custom TTL lets you set different TTL values for different records. Best practice: lower your TTL to 300 seconds (5 minutes) or less before any planned DNS changes (like server migrations) to ensure changes propagate quickly. During stable periods, higher TTL values (like 3600 seconds / 1 hour) reduce DNS query load. Our control panel makes it easy to adjust TTL values for any individual record.

Authoritative DNS is the final authority for your domain’s records. It is the server that answers DNS queries for your specific domain. End users and ISPs use recursive DNS (also called a resolver) to look up DNS information on their behalf, querying authoritative DNS servers and caching the results. Our Premium Cloud DNS provides authoritative DNS; we store and serve your domain’s DNS records worldwide. Your visitors’ devices or ISPs handle the recursive lookup process automatically.
