Domain Name System (DNS) Hosting and Management
The Domain Name System (DNS) plays a pivotal role in ensuring seamless online operations for your business - without it, you are invisible.
Microsolve appreciates the critical nature of DNS and offers a robust, high maturity hosting and management service to support online business operations.
The Importance of DNS for Business
DNS acts as the internet's address book, translating human-readable domain names into machine-friendly IP addresses.
This process is essential for accessing websites and online services as well as delivery of email.
Effective DNS management ensures that customers can easily find and access your business website, contributing to a positive user experience and fostering customer engagement and trust.
Why a High Maturity DNS Service Matters
Reliability & Redundancy
Reliability is critical for DNS.
A well-managed DNS system ensures continuous availability, minimising downtime that can impact revenue and customer trust.
We utilise Anycast technology allowing DNS queries to be routed to the nearest server, reducing latency and improving resilience against server failures.
Performance Optimisation
As your business needs change, your online presence must scale without compromising performance.
Our DNS services offer substantial hardware resources that support increased traffic without slowing down operations.
Client requests are always directed to the nearest server to minimise resolution time and eliminate DNS related delays.
Security
Online security starts with DNS. By default, we enable, activate and managed DNSSEC to protect against threat actors mimicking your domain.
All domains are established with transfer lock and are set to auto-renew to virtually eliminate domain squatting or transfer attacks.
Changes to DNS records are subject to inspection and authorisation checks prior to go-live.
