Netnorth have recently established additional DNS fabric in Hemel Hempstead, providing further resilience to our hosted services. We now operate various networked DNS servers deployed across 5 distinct geo-locations:
- LON1 – London
- MAN1 – Manchester
- BOL1 – Bolton
- BOL2 – Bolton
- HEM1 – Hemel Hempstead
All of Netnorth’s DNS servers are attached to 3 top level domains (.net .org .co.uk) operated by separate registries, thereby ensuring continuation of services in the event that any single registry / tld be compromised. Netnorth use this robust platform to host your domain name services, and offer:
- A fully managed DNS hosting service
- Versatile TTL ( Sub-1-minute Time to Live if required )
- Full IPv4 and IPv6 support
- DNSSEC ( Domain Name System Security Extensions, origin authentication and data integrity )
- DMARC records ( Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance )
- DKIM cryptography records ( DomainKeys Identified Mail )
- SPF / TXT IP authentication records (Sender Policy Framework )
- Support for all SRV ( services ) records
- Support for extended records ( eg SSH fingerprints, PGP keys, etc )
Consider that an internet presence is only as strong as the DNS that reference it.
