What is a global DNS solution?

With a domain name and hosting things like your own website and email, you often have to deal with the DNS or domain name system. This ensures that machines know exactly where to go when a user types a domain name into the browser or you send an email to your email address.

But DNS is something that most website owners pay little attention to, even though a good DNS solution is crucial for speed, stability and reliability. A global DNS solution plays an important role in this.

In this blog post, we explain what DNS is, how a global DNS infrastructure works and what the benefits are for you as a customer. We also show you which services we offer and how you can benefit from them directly.
