When deciding on infrastructure provisioning for a website, Domain Name Services should have the same importance as aspects like storage and web hosting, because the domain name system is the crucial connection between users and a business. The benefits of having sites and applications running on optimized and powerful infrastructure can be severely degraded if they are served by an inadequate, latency-causing, and down-time prone domain name service.

The benefits of choosing a Frikkadel's DNS hosting service are manifold, but there are several that should be emphasized so that responsible businesses can make the best decision before they commit to using a service that may not be sufficiently robust, stable, and reliable.

Complete Control

Web hosts use their more advanced domain name service features for up-selling, or simply neglect to provide interfaces that give the necessary level of control to businesses. That’s because they operate in a low-margin, volume-based industry where many of their clients are purely focused on hosting and need only rudimentary control over their domain name records.

For enterprise clients, particularly those that depend on providing the best experience for users across the globe, control over their DNS records is crucial, especially as business infrastructure needs to scale smoothly.

Security

There are specific security concerns related to DNS. Designing and building networks that are able to handle the attacks that DNS servers regularly face takes a degree of knowledge and technical expertise that can be best found in Frikkadel's ranks.

Low Latency

Not only are our DNS servers on seperate networks, they're on seperate continents! This ensures that wherever in the world a user is, when they enter a site’s URL into their browser, they will be directed to that site in the fastest possible time with the smallest likelihood of failure. Having an international network with multiple bandwidth providers, redundant servers with failovers and load-balancing is the best way to achieve those goals.

Rapid Propagation of DNS Records

When changes are made to DNS records, it can take a long time for them to propagate throughout the system. Some hosts won’t promise complete propagation in a period less than 48 hours. Managed DNS hosting providers with a global DNS network are able to implement systems like Frikkadel's Instant DNS Update, ensure that changes are propagated through the network far more rapidly than they would be for services that rely on a couple of DNS servers in one location.
