Extended Netnorth Nameservers

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.
