DNS that answers from next door.
Every nameserver address is announced from locations around the world at once. Whoever looks up your domain gets the answer from the closest one, so your site, mail and apps start loading sooner, and a whole location can go dark without anyone noticing.
- Anycast on every nameserver
- Points of presence worldwide
- No single point of failure
- Full DNS control
Fast and reliable, anywhere.
Our nameservers answer from every one of these locations at once. Each lookup goes to the nearest PoP, and if one goes offline, the next nearest picks it up.

One address. Many places.
Regular DNS sends every lookup to one server, wherever it happens to be. Anycast sends it to the nearest one.
Fast
Lookups are answered close to the visitor, not across an ocean, so your site and mail start loading sooner.
Reliable
If a location goes offline, its traffic quietly moves to the next nearest one. Your domain keeps resolving.
Anywhere
The same nameservers work for visitors in Dallas, Frankfurt, São Paulo, Singapore and Sydney. Nothing to configure per region.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our anycast DNS.
01What is anycast DNS?
With anycast, the same IP address is announced from many locations at once. The internet's routing sends each lookup to the nearest one. You get one set of nameservers that behaves like a server in every region.
02Why does DNS speed matter?
Every visit to your site and every email sent to your domain starts with a DNS lookup. A slow answer delays everything after it. A fast one is a head start you never have to think about.
03What happens if one location goes down?
Routing sends the lookups to the next nearest PoP. Nobody sees an error, and your domain keeps resolving.
04Where are your points of presence?
All around the world. The map above shows every one.
