Domain Name System (DNS),
although often overlooked, is essential
to virtually every Internet transaction,
and hence an extremely crucial service
for ensuring that your web site and
email continue to function correctly. We
provide you DNS Services on a highly
optimized, globally distributed,
redundant (n+1), robust DNS
infrastructure, that is geared to
deliver 100% DNS uptime and offer
unmatched DNS query response times.
The Managed DNS Services
includes:
- Easy-to-use
Web based Interface for DNS
Management
More than 90% of the web hosting
companies worldwide do not provide
you with an interface to manage your
own DNS Records. With each of our
hosting package you have the ability
to add and manage up to 100 records
for FREE! using our powerful yet
easy-to-use web based UI.
- Total Control
over SOA, A, MX, CNAME, NS records
and TTL
You can add, modify, delete all
types of records through the web
based interface. All additions and
modifications will reflect instantly
on every DNS server. You can even
set and change TTL on a per record
basis, and modify all the SOA
parameters.
- ZERO
propagation delay for any additions
or updates
Our DNS servers use a custom version
of BIND which allows any zone
additions or modifications to
reflect immediately across all our
DNS Servers without requiring any
restarts. The propagation time for
any DNS changes is thus zero.
- Geographically
distributed cluster of servers in
world-class facilities geared to
deliver 100% DNS uptime
Research and studies show that a lot
of hosting companies tend to
distribute their DNS servers poorly
mainly due to lack of resources,
planning and expertise. A study
conducted by Men & Mice of five
thousand randomly selected .com
domains showed that 38% of tested
zones were located in one subnet,
thus increasing significantly the
risk of downtime due to a single
point of failure. DNS downtime can
bring down a companies website or
email for up to 48 hours even after
the service comes up due to caching
practises of ISP's.
Our distributed DNS architecture is
built by subject-matter experts
after a lot of careful planning and
comprises of n+1 servers, spread
across data centers in different
geographies, ensuring that there is
NO single point of failure.
- Support for
round robin DNS
Round-robin DNS is a load balancing
technique by which the balance power
is placed in the DNS server. For
example, suppose a company has three
identical web sites hosted on three
different servers. The company can
enable round-robin DNS so that when
a user accesses the website he/she
will be sent to the first server
(first IP Address), the second user
who accesses the website will be
sent to the next server (second IP
Address), the third user to the
third server (third IP Address), and
the fourth user, will be sent to the
first server as the end of the list
has been reached.
Round robin DNS is usually used for
balancing the load of geographically
distributed web servers along with
other forms of load balancing and
clustering.
- 24x7
Monitoring
All DNS servers and services are
monitored by us 24 x 7. Our
centralized notification system
ensures that any issues are
immediately brought to the notice of
the people incharge and our
processes ensure that the downtime
of any service and server is reduced
to the minimal possible extent. As
such, due to our DNS architecture
and design, it would take multiple
simultaneous failures for the
service to deteriorate or stop
functioning.
Note: Managed DNS
is not applicable for .ae domain names.
