Most of us don’t think about it, but the DNS (Domain Name System) is used each day by everyone on the Internet to look up websites. The DNS runs the Internet, living in the background, making all the connections you need to run a website. But everything the DNS does is time-limited. If a connection request takes too long, it will simply drop the request.
See why you should care about the DNS, below.
The DNS runs the Internet, living in the background, making all the connections you need to run a website.
But everything the DNS does is time-limited. If a connection request takes too long, it will simply drop the request.
Whenever a service, such as hosting, or email, asks for your website to provide a DNS record, this is called a connection query.
The main thing a reliable DNS service like PremiumDNS does for your business website is find a way to avoid dropped queries due to commonplace DNS problems.
Everything runs smoothly and issue-free. Plus all your data is safe as it travels the Internet.
The DNS is like an open address book, with public and private users — but unfortunately, not everyone is trustworthy. If your website is without the protection of a reliable DNS service, it can experience DNS disruptions and suddenly go offline.
This problem is easily solved by PremiumDNS.

Different DNS servers offer varying levels of security which means you could experience vulnerabilities common to these less secure DNS services such as attacks from malicious hackers, including DDoS intrusions. Some offer the same security as at large prices because they mainly cater to super large websites (like Amazon, for example).
The short answer is ‘no’. DNS is a "background" service we do not often think about, but it is used many times each day by every user in every organization. Many application types perform name-based lookups using DNS. These include the following: Web browsers, Email servers, Web servers, Malware such as trojans and bots running on compromised hosts outside your network.
However, if you do not have the expertise or time to examine which applications are using your DNS, PremiumDNS is easily able to monitor and intuitively secure the background DNS on your behalf.
PremiumDNS is one of the most cost-effective, high-performance DNS services around for the money. It works by placing your DNS information on our Anycast global network. Anycast DNS utilizes multiple locations to receive queries in locations all over the world.
From these locations known as ‘zone apexes,’ your top-level domain information (TLD like .com, .car, etc) travels the shortest possible path to the requesting client. Because powerful storage exists at these zones too, DNS retrieval queries travel superfast, supercharging your websites’ performance.
PremiumDNS protects your website against DNS floods and DNS Amplification attacks. If you think of how the internet operates over seven layers, layers 1-4 operate at the DNS level. Cybercrime attack styles at this deeper layer try to overwhelm and shut down your website. These attacks are different from Layer 7 attacks, which a CDN protects you from. Of some concern is that deeper-layer amplification attacks are increasing in popularity which is why PremiumDNS protection is necessary.
No-one wants a surprise loss of business due to uptime failures. Hacktivists, cybercriminals, and cyber terrorists and their campaigns are on the rise. Attackers now use more techniques outside of the typical volume-based L7 DDoS attacks, so you need PremiumDNS to detect and mitigate hackers who try the DNS approach. These deeper layer attacks will target your network infrastructure including attacks going via devices, firewalls, servers, and applications. PremiumDNS secures deep-level layer protection and is a product that also improves your website delivery too.
