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

Once you start using the Othello::Host Managed DNS Service simple-to-use control console you gain the immediate benefits of improved:

  • Comprehensive Security
    Your DNS data is safe. Access to the online management console is through a military grade 256-bit encrypted SSL connection.
    The servers are checked hourly and security patched as necessary.
  • Complete Reliability
    We operate a redundant cluster of 6 DNS servers in 3 different datacentres, ensuring your zones are always available.
    All DNS servers are monitored constantly, any possible downtime immediately alerts our 24/7/365 NOC Staff.
  • Automated Error Checking of Zones
    Every time you submit an update to the DNS Service, our advanced software automatically checks for possible mistakes and problems, reporting back to the user for immediate correction.
  • Ease of Use
    Manage your Othello::Host Managed DNS service and zones through our intuitive easy-to-use web-based interface from anywhere in the world.
  • Complete Flexibility
    Create and manage all your domains, mail exchange and sub domain records from one simple interface.
  • Instant Updates
    The Othello::Host DNS Management console allows you to instantly create, delete and update, DNS entries for your domain names, with immediate replication worldwide.
  • Private IP Address Support
    You can even manage the details of your private (RFC1918) internal IP address structure for your business intranet
  • Cost Benefits
    Because Every domain name must list at least two domain name servers with published fixed IP addresses when you use our service you save all costs associated with obtaining your own IP addresses for nameservers.
