B.01
Name resolution answers from the nearest location, so your website and mail reach customers worldwide faster
Anycast DNS
We place your DNS zones on more than 40 name server locations worldwide in two independent clouds. Your customers reach you faster, and your domain is far more resilient against outages and DDoS attacks. DNSSEC is included; available per zone.
01
Your Benefits
B.02
If a location fails or comes under attack, the others take over automatically and your domain stays reachable
B.03
Your zone sits in two separate name server clouds, so an outage at one operator does not take down the whole zone
B.04
DNSSEC is included and signs your zones against manipulated answers
B.05
Your records stay as they are. We switch the zone over and you carry on managing it as before
02
Service scope

You continue to manage the zone in real time via the Netsource DNS Service (dns.netsource.de), or we do it for you

Requirements and exclusions
→ Prerequisites
- Your domain is managed by Netsource (NDS-DOM-DE) or transferred to us
- At least one name server change at the registry. We carry it out, and the short switch-over normally causes no downtime
✗ Not included
- For most domains the four redundant standard name servers from NDS-DOM-DE are sufficient. Anycast is worthwhile for international reach, high traffic or higher protection needs
- This option covers name resolution only, not web or mail hosting
- Protection against domain takeover is provided by separate building blocks, Registry Lock (NDS-DOM-REGLOCK) and DomainSafe (NDS-DOM-SAFE)
- It does not replace web application or DDoS protection for the web servers themselves
