Built-in DDoS Mitigation
DNSSEC Security Shield

Global Routing Architecture

Duplicate your DNS records globally to achieve under 10ms lookup latency.

Why Premium DNS

Upgrade from Legacy Unicast

Standard DNS services provided by domain registrars utilize legacy unicast networks with limited routing paths, resulting in slow query resolution and downtime during spikes.

Accelerated Lookups

Our Anycast DNS network duplicates your records globally, routing requests to the geographically closest node, significantly reducing lookup times.

Enterprise DNSSEC

Adds cryptographic signatures to your DNS records. This verifies authenticity, blocking DNS hijacking and domain spoofing attacks natively.

DDoS Shielding

Our Premium DNS cluster is protected by traffic scrubbing centers that filter out malicious payloads, keeping your domain completely online.

100% Uptime SLA

Even if a physical DNS node goes offline, the Anycast network automatically redirects requests to the next nearest node, ensuring zero downtime.

Knowledge

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is DNS and how does it affect my website speed?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names (like nairocloud.com) into computer-readable IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1). Before a web browser can load your website, it must first run a DNS lookup. If your DNS provider is slow, this lookup adds latency to your page load time. Premium DNS reduces this lookup latency, accelerating page speed.

2. What is the difference between Unicast and Anycast DNS?

Unicast DNS uses a single physical server location for each nameserver IP address. If a user is far from that location, the query takes longer to resolve. Anycast DNS duplicates your records across a network of global servers sharing the same IP address. The user's query is automatically routed to the geographically closest server, ensuring fast lookup speeds.

3. What is DNSSEC and why do I need it?

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds cryptographic signatures to your DNS records. This verifies the authenticity of the records, preventing malicious third parties from intercepting domain requests or redirecting your visitors to fake phishing sites.

4. How does NairoCloud protect my DNS from DDoS attacks?

Our Anycast DNS cluster is protected by enterprise traffic scrubbing centers. During a DDoS attack (such as a DNS amplification attack), our network filters out malicious payloads and distributed queries, keeping your nameservers online and responsive.

5. Can I use Premium DNS if my domain is registered elsewhere?

Yes. You can use NairoCloud Premium DNS for domains registered with any provider. You simply need to log into your current registrar's panel and update the domain's nameservers to our Premium DNS nameservers.

6. What is TTL and how low can I set it?

TTL (Time to Live) tells internet service providers how long to cache your DNS records before checking for updates. Standard DNS has high TTLs, causing record updates to take hours to propagate. Premium DNS supports TTLs down to 60 seconds, allowing you to update records and route traffic almost instantly.

7. What are vanity nameservers?

Vanity nameservers allow you to customize your nameserver addresses to match your own domain name (e.g. ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com instead of ns1.nairodns.com). This is highly useful for web hosting agencies and corporate brands to maintain their brand presence.

8. Will Premium DNS improve my SEO rankings?

Yes. Page speed is a ranking factor for search engines like Google. By reducing DNS lookup latency, Premium DNS improves your website's overall page speed and Core Web Vitals scores, helping you rank higher.

9. What DNS record types are supported?

We support all standard DNS record types, including A (IPv4 maps), AAAA (IPv6 maps), MX (mail servers), CNAME (canonical aliases), TXT (text verification records), SRV (service locators), and CAA (SSL authority parameters).

10. Does NairoCloud offer a query limit?

No. Unlike other providers that bill you for query volume spikes during marketing campaigns, NairoCloud Premium DNS includes unlimited DNS queries on all plans, providing predictable billing.

11. Can I manage DNS records via an API?

Yes. Our cloud platform features a REST API, allowing developers to add, update, or delete DNS records programmatically to support dynamic staging or custom applications.

12. What happens if an Anycast DNS node goes offline?

If a physical DNS server node goes offline or experiences network congestion, the Anycast routing protocol automatically redirects queries to the next nearest online node, ensuring your domain remains online.

13. How fast do record updates propagate?

Changes made to your DNS records propagate to all our global Anycast servers in under 10 seconds, though it may take longer for local internet service providers to clear their caches depending on the TTL settings.

14. Where are your Anycast DNS nodes located?

Our Anycast DNS nodes are deployed in enterprise datacenters globally, including Dubai (UAE), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Frankfurt (Europe), London (UK), Mumbai (India), Singapore (Asia), and New York (USA).

15. Do you offer support for configuring DNSSEC?

Yes. Our support team can assist you in generating the required DS records and configuring them with your domain registry to activate DNSSEC protection.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Premium DNS?

Premium DNS is an advanced Domain Name System service deployed across a global Anycast network. It ensures faster DNS resolution times, 100% uptime guarantees, and advanced routing features that standard free DNS cannot provide.

How does Premium DNS improve website speed?

With an Anycast network, DNS queries are answered by the server geographically closest to the visitor. This drastically reduces latency and Time-To-First-Byte (TTFB), making your website load faster globally.

Is Premium DNS secure?

Yes. Our Premium DNS includes DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) which cryptographically signs your DNS records, protecting your visitors from DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.

Do I need Premium DNS if I have a small website?

While not strictly required, Premium DNS provides a significant boost in reliability and speed. If your website generates revenue or handles sensitive data, the 100% uptime and security of Premium DNS is highly recommended.

Can Premium DNS prevent DDoS attacks?

Yes. Our Anycast Premium DNS network is built with massive global capacity capable of absorbing and mitigating massive DNS-based Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, keeping your site online.

Does Premium DNS support advanced routing?

Yes, it supports advanced traffic management features like Geolocation Routing (directing users to servers in their region), Failover Routing, and Weighted Round-Robin for load balancing.

How difficult is it to set up?

It is incredibly easy. Once activated, you simply update your domain's nameservers to point to our Premium Anycast servers. You can manage all your records via our intuitive DNS dashboard.
