Worldwide Anycast DNS Service

One of the most heavily used Internet services is DNS. Every web page load, every asset fetch, every email — they all begin with a DNS lookup. The quicker your DNS servers can respond, the sooner a user's request can start. For this reason we run a network of DNS servers around the world routed using anycast. This technique helps to make sure queries are sent to the DNS server closest to the user. Even though data moves at the speed of light, sending DNS queries shorter distances means shorter response times. You can see the live latency map made from measurements by RIPE Atlas.

We've deliberately built this service for the 21st century: IPv6 support is the priority. We're deploying the servers in different locations with different providers to spread traffic across different networks. And continuing the theme of diversity, we have automated deployment of these servers to use a variety of operating systems, DNS server software, and routing implementations. This should help isolate us from bugs or security issues in any one implementation.

We manage all of this complexity so that your DNS is distributed, resilient, and fast.
