Fully Managed Distributed DNS
The Othello::Host Managed DNS Solution is the most simple and controllable way to manage all of your Domain Name Systems records, giving you full control over the zone details for your domain portfolio, no matter where you host.
What is DNS ?
DNS is the TLA (Three Letter Acronym) for Domain Name System (sometimes incorrectly Domain Name Servers as well). The Domain Name System is the mechanism for translating between "friendly" internet addresses (domains) and the actual location of the service (ip address). It is the internet equivalent of the telephone directory.Our Managed DNS service is essential for domain owners who:
- Require instant DNS setup and updates.
- Manage multiple domains registered with more than one registrar and need a single-point to administer where each domain resolves.
- Need more control than the simple DNS service provided by your ISP.
- Maintain a website with one hosting provider and email with another or on an in-house email server.
- Connect your server on a broadband Internet connection.
- Need to make changes to the name server entries without waiting days for the ISP support department to even open the ticket.
After you outsource your DNS service, you'll have 24/7/365 total control over your zone files, with the ability to add, remove and edit...
- SOA settings
- TTL (Time To Live)
- NS for authoritive nameservers
- A records (Host to IP)
- CNAME records
- TXT entrees
- SPF (Sender Policy Framework) as now required by many ISPs
- MX (Mail Exchange) entries
