Reliable DNS servers for your website

What is DNS?

The Domain Name System, usually abbreviated to DNS, is an important guide on the internet. It ensures that we reach the correct website when we type a specific domain name into our browser. It's essential, but how does it actually work?

Every website is hosted on a server. These servers each have a unique name: an IP address. The server where our website is hosted has the IP address 62.213.219.97.

As you can tell, such an IP address is not very user-friendly. It's impossible to remember all the addresses of the websites we want to visit. That's exactly why domain names exist. You type a domain name into your browser, and in a fraction of a second, you see the website.

This translation from domain name to IP address (and vice versa) is exactly what DNS does. Think of it like a phonebook. Instead of remembering every phone number, you store the number under someone's name. When you search for someone's name in your contacts list, your phone tells you which number to dial.

Why strong DNS management is important

Such a DNS lookup must happen quickly, even when many people want to visit the same website simultaneously or when someone on the other side of the world wants to discover your website.

 

During a DNS lookup, data is constantly being sent back and forth. If someone in New York wants to visit a website hosted on a server in Belgium, the data has to travel a long distance. As a result, such a lookup takes longer.

  • When a server (or multiple servers) goes down, there is a risk that your website will become inaccessible. And that is something you want to avoid at all costs.

How nomeo tackles these challenges

Your website and mailbox must remain accessible 24/7. That's why we have set up a global network of DNS servers. A visitor to your website is assisted by the server closest to them, ensuring your website loads quickly on their screen. In the event of a failure, many other servers are ready to take over the task.

Blazing fast lookups

Your website visitors are not just directed to any random server, but to the one geographically closest to them. Whether you have visitors from Brussels, Singapore, or Los Angeles, your website will load incredibly fast.

Thanks to load balancers, DNS lookups are distributed across the underlying nameservers. A query is forwarded to the server that responds the fastest at that moment.

icon Smart approach

Smart approach

DNS servers build a temporary memory (cache) in which frequently requested lookups are stored. This results in faster responses to queries and reduces the load on the nameservers.

icon Stability guaranteed

Stability guaranteed

Malicious queries are quickly blocked. When we notice that certain DNS servers are being overloaded with fraudulent requests, we intervene immediately. This prevents specific servers from being taken down by excessive querying.

Quickly block DDoS attacks

DDoS attacks occur frequently, usually in the form of water torture attacks. These are attacks where random hostnames are requested at high speed from a server. Such overloading can "disable" servers, preventing them from processing legitimate queries.

 

Fortunately, we manage to block such attacks quickly and automatically. We have various rules in place that are applied swiftly.

Static RulesDynamic Rules
  • Individual domain names can be limited to a specific number of queries per second.

  • ANY requests, zone transfers, etc., are blocked.

  • For all domain names, the frequency of requests is monitored. If the number is too high, for example due to a DDoS attack, additional requests are blocked.

  • If too many requests are made from a single IP address or network, that network is blocked.
