Out of many principles we follow at Cloudways, there is one we are really passionate about; i.e., providing ease. We love to provide small conveniences to our clients, like recently we introduced a Recurring Update add-on for which we are already receiving positive feedback.
Why DNS is important?
DNS is at the very core of Internet. Without DNS, the WWW would be a much unfriendlier place. DNS services translates FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Names) i.e. www.cloudways.com to an IP (in our case, it is 46.20.121.65). A simple yet fundamental role. If for whatever reason your DNS provider has some kind of glitch, your visitor can’t reach your site in any way and this can seriously hurt your business.
Additionally, a good DNS provider will have many servers all around the world being able to do this translation from FQDN to IP extremely fast thus speeding your site load time
Why use our Managed DNS add-on?
By using our managed DNS Add-on, you can get rid of all your DNS-related worries easily. These are some of the things that we worry about, so you don’t have to:
- Configure your domain, so it uses the correct DNS servers.
- Properly set all DNS records for your cloud infrastructure (for e.g., website, email, etc.).
- Set suitable TTL (Time-to-live) values for each record. (TTL is extremely important. During migrations, it ensures a quick and smooth process.)
- Other advanced DNS features (i.e., DNS failover).
