Premium DNS
Answer every visitor quickly from a global anycast network, with DDoS protection and a 100% uptime promise. Works with domains registered anywhere.
Premium DNS looks after the first step of every visit, the one most people never think about.
Lookups are answered from the location nearest each visitor, so pages start loading sooner.
Attack traffic is filtered out before it can knock your DNS, website or email offline.
Keep your registrar. Copy your records across, update your name servers and you're done.
Our UK team can check your records and talk you through the switch.
Everything is included, with no setup fee and no add-ons.
Premium DNS works with any domain, wherever it's registered. Add it to a domain you already have with us, or point a domain from another registrar at our name servers.

Premium DNS runs on an anycast network: the same addresses are announced from DNS locations around the world, and each lookup goes to the closest one.
Manage all your records in one clear editor, including ALIAS records that point the root of your domain at a cloud service.
DNS is the internet's address book. When someone types your domain, DNS tells their browser which server holds your website, and tells other mail servers where to deliver your email.
If DNS is slow, every visit starts slowly. If it goes down, your website and email disappear even though they're still running. Premium DNS keeps that first step fast and always available.
Both are managed in the same place. Start free and upgrade any domain when you need to.

No. Premium DNS works with domains registered anywhere. You keep your registrar and point the domain's name servers to us.
Not if you copy your records first. Add them to Premium DNS, check they match, then change your name servers. We're happy to check them with you.
If our DNS network fails to answer for your domain, we'll credit your account. The details are in our service terms.
DNSSEC adds a digital signature to your DNS records, so visitors' devices can tell a genuine answer from a forged one. We sign your records for you; for a domain registered elsewhere, you add one record at your registrar.
It works like a CNAME but at the root of your domain (yourbusiness.com rather than www.yourbusiness.com), so you can point it at services that give you a hostname instead of an IP address.
Yes. Point your records at any web host, email provider or app. Your DNS and your hosting don't have to be in the same place.
If our DNS network fails to answer for your domain, we'll credit your account.
Signed records stop attackers sending your visitors to fake copies of your site.
A flood of fake lookups can take ordinary DNS offline, and your website and email with it. Premium DNS absorbs and filters attack traffic so real visitors still get through.
