DNS (Domain Name Server) explained.
Every domain name is given a series of numbers known as an IP address. When you type a domain name into your browser, the DNS looks through a huge database to find the IP address and directs your browser to the website content.
The importance of managing your DNS.
It's during this DNS address "look up" where you potentially experience problems in performance, accessibility and security; from your domain not being found to hackers redirecting visitors to a fake website.
Slow DNS response can cause "website not found" errors.
This can happen when the DNS server is slow in responding and can't determine what site content to give you. If it takes too long, it can just "time out" and give an error message.
Keep hackers from redirecting your visitors to a fake site.
Hackers can give the browser a different IP address that redirects to a fake website that looks like yours. Once there, the hacker can access any information your customer provides.
Premium DNS helps, here’s how:
Solve top DNS issues to improve security, reliability and performance.
Premium DNS makes it easy to resolve common issues that prevent people from accessing your site. It improves your overall performance, availability and security.
Better security.
Problem: Hackers steal credit card numbers and other sensitive information through "eavesdropping." Hackers sit on the DNS server and "listen in" on messages, logins and passwords as customers access your site.
Solution: By verifying the visitor is at the intended website, Premium DNS helps shut eavesdropping down.
Greater reliability.
Problem: "Website not found" errors cause you to lose visitors and sales. At best, they think you're unprofessional; at worst, they think you don't exist.
Solution: Premium DNS makes sure your site is always available by using the Anycast global network, which provides multiple layers of redundancy. Your DNS records are distributed on servers throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia. So, if one server should go down, your website will still be online.
Faster performance.
Problem: Visitors experience delays or "time outs" trying to reach your site. Customers who live far away may experience a delay in reaching your site or even get a "website not found" error message. The more cable between your server and your customer's computer, the longer it takes for them to reach your site.
Solution: The Premium DNS infrastructure offers improved security and faster resolution than the standard infrastructure. And since your information is distributed across DNS servers around the world, customers connect to the closest server location for a quicker response.
