Excedo Premium Anycast DNS
Rock-solid DNS service
Excedo is proud to be one of the most trusted DNS Anycast constellations on the Internet. We have 100+ nodes across 6 continents and a track record of ensuring 100% uptime across a global network. With the addition of Excedo Premium Anycast DNS, we provide a complete suite of authoritative DNS services.
With more than 20 years of DNS experience, we have established expertise in providing rock-solid DNS (Domain Name System) services. Built upon multiple independent and separated anycast networks you can stay assured that your customers will reach your online resources without delays and risks of interruptions.
Our authoritative DNS service is offered as a fully managed DNS service, or you can easily extend your own DNS infrastructure by using our Premium Anycast DNS as a secondary DNS service.
Excedo will perform an advanced health examination of your DNS with Excedo Zonemaster. As a bonus, you will get a better understanding of how the domain name system (DNS) works. When a domain (also called zone) is sent to Excedo Zonemaster, the service investigates the state of the domain from beginning to end.
This is done through Excedo Zonemaster examining DNS from the root (.) to the TLD (top-level domain, for example, .se), and then finally through the DNS servers that contain information about the specified domain (for example, excedo.se).
Excedo Zonemaster is also able to perform other tests, such as checking the DNSSEC signatures, that different hosts can be accessed and that the IP addresses are valid. This is all to make sure that your domain runs as well as possible.
The health check is free of charge, and you will receive an answer to your e-mail within 5 minutes.
Managed Premium Anycast DNS
Secondary Premium Anycast DNS
You use the power of Excedo rock-solid DNS service but connect to our infrastructure with your own primary master server and use our Enterprise API to create and delete zones. By trusting a Excedo Secondary Premium Anycast DBS, you still control everything through your own primary master.
DNS is often the most common reason for online interruptions/outages.
Excedo Premium Anycast DNS equips your brand with a secure, reliable and scalable solution that ensures highest availability for your company´s digital online resources.

Is free DNS a good deal for your business?
The answer to this question is simple, no. The biggest difference between a premium and free DNS is the warranty of 100% name resolution 24/7/365. A free DNS solution could stop working any time and cause severe damage for your businesses operations with a direct result to revenue loss. In a free DNS service you have no one to call and ask for help.

Must have features for Rock-Solid DNS

Use DNSSEC to protect your domains
The DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) protocol has existed for more than a decade. It uses digital signatures to enable DNS records to be authenticated and is the industry standard for protecting against DNS hijacking and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Making sure your domains are protected by DNSSEC is a vital part of your network security.
Be global and local
Use a DNS service with a strong global footprint and good spread of sites in the regions most important to your business. Make sure the Service Level Agreement (SLA) ensures high availability and a sufficient minimum number of available sites at all all times.
Don't rely on a single solution
Using just one type of DNS solution exposes you you to a high risk of failure. Use multiple solutions to guarantee 100% uptime.
Highly recommended features for Rock-Solid DNS
Choose an experienced provider
DNS is critical for your brand. When choosing a provider, look for an organisation that has a high level of DNS expertise, a proven track record of running a high available global service and the competence to help tailor a DNS solution to meet your specific network needs.
