The Secondary DNS provides a way to distribute the DNS traffic for a domain name to two or more DNS providers for the best possible uptime and redundancy in a very easy and friendly way. It supplies you with an additional set of Authoritative DNS servers that can respond to incoming requests for your domain name. You can manage the DNS records of the domain name only at a single (Primary DNS) provider and the second provider using the Secondary DNS technology can be kept up to date and synchronized automatically.
Every domain name requires a Primary DNS server to hold all of the available resource records for each precise domain and respond to DNS queries for it. However, for fast loading time, improved load balancing, and redundancy if a DNS outage or malicious attack occurs, many domain owners trust Secondary DNS.
Some of the main benefits of setting a Secondary DNS include:
If the Primary DNS provider becomes unavailable, the DNS traffic will automatically be served by the secondary provider without any visible effects to the visitors of the web site.
The Secondary DNS can be used as a backup plan, if something happens with the primary provider. You will have a fresh copy of all your DNS records.
Last few years the DDoS attacks are growing in both frequency and severity. Adding additional DNS provider with Secondary DNS gives you better security and provider independency.
If you manage your own DNS servers, you can secure them with Secondary DNS configuration with hidden Master. ClouDNS will handle all the public traffic for you.
Secondary DNS can improve the performance of your website by distributing the traffic across multiple servers.
If you manage your own DNS servers, adding Secondary DNS is a fairly easy process. You can migrate to DDoS Protected and Anycast DNS transparently without any other changes of your management system, access and control panels.
Consider these top advantages and start using Secondary DNS. Also remember that there are plenty of tutorials on our website on how to set up this process.
Secondary DNS 對任何希望提升網站效能、可靠性和安全性的人來說,都是改變局勢的關鍵。擁有全球受眾的企業、eCommerce 平台,以及執行關鍵任務應用程式的企業受益最大,因為 Secondary DNS 可降低停機風險。它非常適合需要高可用性、負載平衡,或防範 DNS 伺服器故障的組織。即使是小型企業,也能透過增加一層額外的韌性來提升其線上存在感。如果正常運作時間、速度和不中斷存取對您很重要,Secondary DNS 就是明智之選。

"ClouDNS provides the best in class DNS services. Prior to ClouDNS we were hosting and managing our DNS servers which was not core to our business so when we compared alternatives ClouDNS was the right fit..."
