Two big reasons why you should have Premium DNS
A slow DNS response can cause the "website not found" error.
You have surely noticed at times that accessing a website takes longer or you get the "site not found" error. This can happen when a DNS responds slowly and cannot determine which site content to deliver — and after a longer delay it may produce the "time out" error message.
Hackers can redirect your visitors to a fake site
A bigger problem is when a hacker can interfere with the "look up" process — this is a vulnerability of all DNS systems worldwide. A hacker can supply the browser with a different IP address that redirects your visitors to a fake site that looks just like yours. Once visitors reach the fake site, the hacker can access any information provided by the client — from usernames and passwords to credit card data.
What is DNS (Domain Name Server)
Each domain name is assigned a series of numbers known as the IP address — for example, the IP address for www.navtelecom.com is 91.216.8.72. This is the number your browser uses to locate a website.
When you enter a domain name in the browser, DNS (Domain Name Server) searches a huge database to find the IP address you requested and then directs the browser to the correct website content.
How can Premium DNS help my site?
Premium DNS makes it easier to secure and manage your DNS to improve performance, accessibility and security by placing your DNS information in the global NAV network.
We distribute your DNS information across multiple servers worldwide so that visitors to your site are connected to the closest server location for a fast response.
The DNS security feature (DNSSEC) stops hackers by securing the "look up" process — verifying that the visitor actually reaches your site.
Let us solve the main DNS issues to improve security, reliability and performance.
Premium DNS makes it easy to solve common issues that prevent users from accessing your site, improving overall performance, availability and security.
Better security
Problem #1: Hackers try to hijack your site and steal customer data. When a customer enters the site address, the hacker interrupts the DNS "lookup" process and sends the user to a fake site that may look like yours.
Solution: Premium DNS (with DNSSEC enabled) creates an unbroken "chain of trust" between the visitor's browser and your server, verifying that the visitor actually reaches your website.
Higher reliability
Problem #2: The "Website not found" error causes loss of customers and, of course, sales from your website. At best, your customers will think you are unprofessional; at worst, they will believe your site does not exist.
Solution: Premium DNS ensures your site is always available using the global Anycast network, which provides multiple layers of redundancy. Your DNS records are distributed across servers in the US, Europe and Asia.
Faster performance
Problem #3: Visitors may experience latency or even "time outs" when trying to reach your site. Customers in remote regions may encounter delays in accessing your site or even receive the "website not found" error.
Solution: Premium DNS infrastructure provides improved security and faster resolution than standard infrastructure. Information is distributed across DNS servers worldwide and clients connect to the nearest location.
We provide our customers a 99.999% uptime
from 1997 to the present!
Over 10,000 customers with more than 15,000 domains trust our DNS infrastructure to keep their web applications always available.
Management tools
- Unlimited domains (zones): Some providers limit the number of domains you can manage and charge extra to add more. With Premium DNS, you can manage DNS activity for all your domains — (excluding DNSSEC).
- Templates: You can create templates with common configuration for easy DNS zone updates.
- Multiple features: Imports, exports and multiple DNS zone updates.
Monitoring and support
- Extended record limit: Up to 1,500 records per domain with Premium DNS. You no longer have to worry about DNS zone overloads or hitting a limit on added domains.
- Error checking: You do not have to be a DNS expert or technician. We make it easy to spot issues with our error-checking features.
- Redirection: DNS "forwarding" redirection for your website.
Guaranteed reliability
- Management: Full control over record types: NS, MX, A, SRV, TXT, CNAME and time-to-live (TTL).
- Global AnyCast network: Our approach is redundant, global, covering the US, Europe and Asia — helping protect against DDoS attacks targeting DNS.
- DNSSEC: Up to 5 DNSSEC domains can be enabled (additional ones for a fee).
- Secondary DNS: When a site application is critical, a secondary DNS server with synchronization is 100% necessary.
Your Question, Our Answer
What is the difference between DNS and Premium DNS?
Premium DNS provides superior security and performance for your domain, while DNS hosting is a service included on web hosting servers that lets customers with domains registered at other companies manage their zone files through NAV.
For example, suppose you registered your domain with another company but want to host your content at NAV. We give you the ability to modify and update zone files as you see fit, without forcing you to transfer the domain. This kind of DNS management lets you stay practical with your domain even if we are not your registrar. To use our Premium DNS services, however, you will need to register or transfer the domain with us.
Does it help me maintain a professional online presence?
Premium DNS ensures the stability and safety of DNS for your domain name. We want your online site to succeed, which is why it is important to maintain a consistent online presence that delivers the reliability your site's visitors deserve.
The secondary DNS server provides a backup in case the primary DNS server for your domain name fails or stops working. If the primary DNS fails, the secondary can take over so that visitor access is not affected. This feature is perfect for websites that depend on visitor traffic.
You can even create custom nameservers to improve your online presence. Custom nameservers allow NS masking, so when users look up information about your website, they will find your nameservers instead of ours.
What is Premium DNS?
Premium DNS, also known as managed DNS, is a robust DNS service that helps you improve the security, performance and reliability of your site, letting you control the advanced features of DNS settings. With this service, you maintain full control over your site by managing the changes and settings for your domains.
Why is Premium DNS essential?
Premium DNS provides a higher level of support and security, reliability and superior performance by distributing your DNS information across multiple servers worldwide, so visitors to your site are connected to the closest server location for a fast response.
