What Is Premium DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) is used to translate a Domain Name into its corresponding IP Address. In simple terms, DNS is the way your browser knows where to take you when you're on the internet.
Here at Aust Domains, we offer two types of DNS hosting services — Standard DNS and Premium DNS. This guide will discuss the differences and benefits of both.
Standard DNS
Standard DNS is FREE for all registered domain names. Unlike all other providers, we offer FREE DNS for all our customers. Once you regsiter, you will get standard DDoS Protection and take full control of the following records:
- A Record
- MX Records
- CNAME Records
- AAAA Records
- IPv4/IPv6 Support
Note: For UK users, both Standard and Premium DNS options are granted for all domain registrations without the need to upgrade, as per Registry policies.
Premium DNS
Premium DNS, on the other hand, offers much more than Standard DNS. It gives you a reliable and secure cloud service that utilises multiple locations to ensure your DNS hosting is the fastest possible. Premium DNS also includes advanced DDoS Protection, which means that you will have advanced safeguards against online attacks. In addtion, it allows you to set all types of DNS Records and take complete control over your DNS within your Account Manager.
Premium DNS is recommended for all businesses and customers who seek topnotch security for their website.
For all other locales, this service upgrade can be added to any existing domain name. For UK, as per Registry policies, these features are already included in every account upon registration.
Premium DNS features include:
- Web Forwarding
- Email Forwarding
- Anycast Network
- SLA Guarantee
- DNSSEC Signing
- ISO Certified
- IPv4/IPv6 Support
So, for best security and stability for your website, Premium DNS is the way to go.
