Domain Name System management is the foundation of how the internet routes traffic to your services. Every website visit, email delivery, and API call depends on DNS functioning correctly. Our DNS management platform provides the reliability, performance, and control that professional organizations require, backed by infrastructure designed for enterprise-scale operations.
The InternetAdresse DNS infrastructure spans over 50 global locations, utilizing anycast routing to direct queries to the nearest available server. This architecture ensures fast resolution times regardless of where your visitors are located while providing resilience against regional outages or attacks. Our DNS network handles billions of queries daily with sub-50ms average response times.
DNS Record Management
Full control over your DNS configuration is essential for modern web operations. Our platform supports all standard and advanced record types, giving you the flexibility to implement any DNS configuration your services require.
Standard Record Types
A records map domain names to IPv4 addresses, directing traffic to your web servers. AAAA records provide the same functionality for IPv6 addresses, essential as the internet continues transitioning to the newer protocol. CNAME records create aliases pointing one domain name to another, useful for services like content delivery networks or cloud platforms that provide their own hostnames.
MX records configure email routing, specifying which mail servers should receive messages for your domain and in what priority order. Proper MX configuration is critical for reliable email delivery. TXT records store arbitrary text data, commonly used for domain verification, SPF email authentication, and DKIM key publication.
Advanced Record Types
SRV records specify server locations for specific services, enabling service discovery and load distribution. CAA records define which certificate authorities are permitted to issue SSL certificates for your domain, providing an additional layer of security against fraudulent certificate issuance. PTR records enable reverse DNS lookups, mapping IP addresses back to domain names.
ALIAS records (also called ANAME) provide CNAME-like functionality at the zone apex, allowing you to point your root domain to cloud services that only provide hostname targets. This solves a common limitation where standard CNAME records cannot be used at the zone root.
Global DNS Infrastructure
DNS performance directly impacts user experience. Slow DNS resolution adds latency to every request, while DNS outages can make your services completely unreachable. Our infrastructure is engineered to eliminate these concerns through geographic distribution and redundant architecture.
Anycast Network
Our DNS servers operate on an anycast network where the same IP addresses are announced from multiple geographic locations. When a resolver queries our nameservers, internet routing automatically directs the request to the nearest location. This approach minimizes latency while providing automatic failover if any location becomes unavailable.
Global Distribution
DNS points of presence are strategically positioned across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Oceania. Major metropolitan areas are served by multiple nearby locations, ensuring consistently fast resolution for your primary user bases. We continuously expand our network based on traffic patterns and customer needs.
DDoS Protection
DNS infrastructure is a frequent target for distributed denial of service attacks. Our network is designed to absorb and mitigate volumetric attacks while continuing to serve legitimate traffic. Multiple Tbps of attack mitigation capacity protects your DNS resolution from even the largest attacks without requiring any action on your part.
Propagation and TTL
DNS changes do not take effect instantaneously because resolvers cache responses according to Time-To-Live (TTL) values. Understanding how propagation works helps you plan changes effectively and minimize disruption during migrations.
Fast Propagation
Changes made in our DNS management interface propagate to all our nameservers within seconds. How quickly external resolvers see these changes depends on the TTL of the previous record and their caching behavior. For time-sensitive changes, we recommend lowering TTL values in advance—typically 24-48 hours before planned modifications.
TTL Best Practices
Lower TTL values (300 seconds or less) provide flexibility for frequent changes but increase query volume to authoritative servers. Higher TTL values (3600 seconds or more) reduce query load and can improve performance but make changes slower to propagate. Balance these tradeoffs based on how frequently you expect to modify each record.
DNSSEC Support
DNS Security Extensions add cryptographic verification to DNS responses, protecting against cache poisoning attacks and ensuring the integrity of DNS data. Our platform supports full DNSSEC implementation for domains where the registry supports the protocol.
Enable DNSSEC with a few clicks through our management interface. We handle the complexity of key generation, signing, and DS record publication to parent zones. Automatic key rotation ensures your DNSSEC implementation remains secure without requiring manual intervention. Learn more about our DNSSEC implementation.
