DNS and Nameservers

DNS services are definitely overlooked, as they are often bundled for free with a domain. So, why buy such services as they are free?

The problem is that free DNS services are often entry-level services called DNS Unicast, meaning the less performant and secure services that exist.

DNS Anycast with DDoS protection

DNS Anycast with DDoS protection   

This is the best choice for both performance and security.

  • For performance, because web pages are loaded faster.

  • For security, because the DDoS protection allows your site to remain available even when it is subject to a DDoS attack.
