When it comes to uptime, no matter how redundant and secure your hosting solution is, it can all come crashing down if your DNS is exploited. DNS hijacks and cache poisoning are an unfortunate reality of BIND DNS, the most common, freely available DNS server on the Internet.

DNS.com's proprietary DNS server is hardened against the vulnerabilities most likely to occur on a standard DNS network. Why put your site and reputation at risk?

Custom Non-BIND DNS

The DNS.com daemon was developed in-house using C. The daemon uses proprietary database for optimal reading, caching and performance compared to conventional technologies.

Using this technology, DNS.com can drill down records to a more granular geographic record than any other DNS technology in known existence, offering the most precise DNS lookups available.
