Unicast Nameservers
The Traditional Method
Standard DNS hosting services typically use provider-nameservers based on Unicast technology. In a Unicast system, each nameserver is assigned to a specific IP address. This IP addresses all DNS queries, regardless of their number or geographic origin. However, this can lead to challenges in latency and load distribution, particularly if the server is geographically distant from the users.
Anycast Nameservers
The Modern DNS Management Solution
Contrastingly, Anycast technology, as used in our EuropeanNS service, assigns a single IP address to multiple servers. In an Anycast DNS setup, queries are directed to the geographically closest server. This results in more efficient server load distribution and significantly improved response times. Anycast DNS is especially advantageous for DNS hosting providers seeking high availability and quick response times for globally distributed users.
Choosing Anycast DNS hosting offers enhanced performance and reliability, making it a superior choice for modern DNS management and hosting services.
Geographically distant clients from the Unicast nameserver can experience substantial delays or even timeouts.
Centralizing queries to one node makes the network vulnerable to DDoS attacks, leading to service disruptions.
High traffic can quickly overwhelm a Unicast nameserver, increasing latency or causing service failures.
Anycast DNS, used in our hosting service, addresses these challenges:
Anycast DNS routes queries to the nearest server, reducing response time and improving website accessibility for distant audiences.
The Anycast DNS network disperses incoming traffic across the entire network, effectively repelling attacks.
Anycast DNS enhances fail-safety by distributing queries across different nodes, reducing overload risk and allowing selective routing under heavy load.
Our Anycast DNS hosting provides a reliable, secure, and high-performing solution, significantly enhancing your online presence's performance and security.
DNSSEC, short for Domain Name System Security Extensions, is a crucial component for internet security. This technology enhances your DNS hosting with an additional layer of protection, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the transmitted data.
The implementation of DNSSEC was a pivotal moment in the history of internet security. Initially faced with challenges, DNSSEC was established in 2005 through the standards RFC 4033, RFC 4034, and RFC 4035, and expanded to the root nameservers in 2010. This development marked a significant step in securing top-level domains.
DNSSEC employs a public-key cryptosystem, a method based on a pair of keys – a public and a private key. The private key digitally signs the DNS resource records, while the public key is used by clients to verify these signatures. This confirms the authenticity of the source and protects against manipulation.
As your trusted DNS service provider, we integrate DNSSEC into our DNS hosting services, offering not only enhanced security but also an increased level of trust and reliability. With our expertise in DNS management and as a reliable DNS hosting provider, we ensure that your online services are optimally protected by DNSSEC.

A distributed denial of service attack is a form of cybercrime in which the attack is distributed from a large number of hacked systems. The aim is to overload a server with a large number of requests and possibly disable it, making all associated domains inaccessible.
The Domain Name System translates domain names (website names) into machine-readable IP addresses. A DNS resolver is a server that performs this translation. To load a website, the user's device must request the IP address of the website from the relevant DNS resolver (name server).
DNS API stands for a programmable interface that enables developers to manage DNS settings and records automatically. By using a DNS API, companies can manage their DNS infrastructure more efficiently and integrate it into their own systems and applications.
DNS bycast routing is a network technique in which queries to a service, such as a DNS server, are routed to the nearest or best available server location. With this method, the server from a network of servers that is geographically closest or offers the best response time responds to a DNS query. This results in faster DNS resolution, reduces latency and improves the overall performance of the DNS service. DNS bycast routing also increases reliability, as if one server fails, another server automatically takes over the queries.
A DNS hosting provider is a company or service provider that offers DNS hosting services to enable domain name resolution.These providers manage DNS servers that are tasked with converting domain names into IP addresses so that internet users can reach websites via their domain name.DNS hosting providers typically offer a variety of services, including managing DNS records, providing security features such as DNSSEC, and often advanced features such as load balancing and failover support.They play a crucial role in maintaining the functionality and reliability of the internet by ensuring that websites and online services are always accessible.
DNS Load Balancing or Round Robin DNS is a technique where DNS requests are distributed across multiple servers to evenly distribute the load and optimize performance.This is particularly useful for high traffic websites to avoid downtime and ensure a fast response time.

A DNS Amplification Attack is a form of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in which attackers exploit the request-response mechanism of DNS to generate massive traffic. Small requests are sent to DNS servers, which respond with much larger answers. The queries are provided with forged sender addresses so that the large responses are sent to the target of the attack, leading to an overload and potential failure of the target system.
DNS and Security refers to the close link between DNS and overall network security. A secure DNS system is crucial to prevent cyberattacks aimed at manipulating DNS data, such as DNS spoofing / cache poisoning.
DNS cache poisoning, also known as DNS spoofing, is a type of cyberattack in which an attacker injects false DNS responses into the DNS cache of a server or client. The goal is to redirect traffic by directing users to a fake website that mimics the legitimate one.This can be used to steal sensitive information such as login credentials or spread malware. Protective measures against DNS cache poisoning or DNS spoofing include the use of DNSSEC to validate DNS responses and the implementation of strict security protocols on DNS servers.
DNS cyber security refers to the practices and technologies used to protect the DNS from cyber attacks. This includes securing DNS servers, implementing security protocols and monitoring DNS traffic for suspicious activity.

DNS exfiltration refers to the technique of exfiltrating data out of a network undetected via DNS queries.This method is often used in cyberattacks to bypass security measures, as DNS traffic is rarely closely monitored.Sensitive data can be hidden in DNS queries or responses and transmitted to an external server without conventional security systems raising the alarm.
A DNS firewall is a security system that monitors and controls DNS traffic to protect networks from malware, phishing and other cyber threats. It filters out malicious requests and prevents dangerous content from reaching the internal network.
DNS hijacking is a form of cyberattack in which traffic is redirected from a legitimate DNS server to a fraudulent one. Attackers can redirect users to fake websites in order to steal sensitive data or spread malware.
DNS layer security refers to security measures implemented at the DNS level of a network. These measures protect against a variety of threats by monitoring and regulating DNS traffic.
DNS Query Monitoring involves monitoring and analyzing DNS queries to identify suspicious or anomalous patterns.This helps to detect potential security threats at an early stage and take appropriate countermeasures.
DNS rate limiting is a technique that limits the number of DNS queries a server accepts in a given period of time. This helps to prevent or mitigate DDoS attacks by reducing excessive traffic.
DNS rebinding is an attack technique that bypasses the security policies of a web browser to gain unauthorized access to private networks.The attack is carried out by a malicious website tricking the browser into redirecting the IP address of a legitimate domain to a malicious IP address. This allows the attacker to access devices and services that are normally protected by network security, such as private databases or devices on the home network.
In a DNS reflection attack, attackers use publicly accessible DNS servers to send a large amount of traffic to a target, typically in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The attacker sends requests with forged sender addresses to the DNS servers, which then send the responses to the target. This can lead to an overload of the target system.Countermeasures include configuring DNS servers to detect and block such requests and implementing network security solutions that detect unusual traffic patterns.
DNS Safety encompasses the practices and technologies used to protect the DNS from security threats.This includes monitoring for suspicious activity, securing DNS servers and implementing security protocols such as DNSSEC.

DNS tunneling is a technique in which data is transmitted via DNS queries and responses in order to bypass security mechanisms. While there are legitimate uses, it can also be used for malicious purposes such as data exfiltration or bypassing network security controls.
The DNSSEC Chain of Trust is a DNSSEC security concept based on the use of digital signatures to ensure the authenticity and integrity of DNS data.This chain starts with the DNS root zone, which is signed by a trusted authority, and continues through the top-level domains to the individual domains. Each level validates the signature of the next lower level, creating a continuous chain of trust from the root server to the end user. This prevents manipulation such as DNS spoofing or cache poisoning.
DNSSEC Key Management refers to the management of the keys used within DNSSEC. This includes the creation, distribution, rotation and revocation of keys to ensure the security and effectiveness of DNSSEC.
DNSSEC validation is the process of checking the authenticity of DNSSEC-secured DNS responses.This validation ensures that the received data actually originates from the specified source and has not been manipulated en route
Pharming is a technique that works similarly to DNS spoofing, but often on a larger scale.In a pharming attack, DNS records on a DNS server or in a computer's hosts file are manipulated in order to redirect users to fraudulent websites without them noticing. Unlike phishing, which is based on deception, pharming usually goes unnoticed and can affect many users at the same time. Security measures against pharming include regular checks and updates of DNS records as well as the use of antivirus and anti-malware software.
Protected DNS refers to DNS services that are equipped with additional security measures to protect the DNS infrastructure from attacks and misuse.This often includes features such as advanced monitoring, DDoS protection and encryption.
