IP Anycast

Network Routing Methodology

DNS Made Easy uses an IP Anycast network for both our Managed DNS Service (when you use us as primary name servers) and Secondary DNS Service (when you use us as secondary name servers).

IP Anycast Routing is a DNS industry best practice to give servers the highest possible uptime worldwide. IP Anycast Routing gives systems: load balancing, increased reliability, decreased latency, and a true distributed response to DDoS. The best part is that all of this is transparent to the client (the end user). By having multiple networks dynamically respond to the same IP you are able to increase performance and uptime.

All of DNS Made Easy systems are located at premium data facilities with multiple data providers, and from a network standpoint DNS Made Easy is in the top tier of DNS providers worldwide. We have a historical 8 year 100% uptime history and an overall 99.9999% uptime history, and have made significant improvements to redundancy and capacity to make sure we keep it that way.
