Why using special DNS Servers is beneficial?

With the internet becoming an integral part of every business today, it has also increasingly become important that DNS servers remain stable, secure, and resilient against DNS attacks.

By default, you’re most likely using your Internet Server Provider (ISP) DNS servers. DNS queries through ISP’s are vulnerable to attacks as it does not always use strong encryption or support DNSSEC.

Using special DNS Servers adds an extra layer of security. It enhances the security of DNS infrastructure, essential for a more reliable server with better uptime and protection against attack.

The good news is we now offer Global AnyCast DNS Servers, a special DNS server resilient against attacks. It will soon be added as a new function to your control panel, but you can already request it via support. With one click, it will take all DNS settings and import them into our new premium AnyCast DNS product.
