WebWide Partner Control Center 3.0

A large part of the most important business processes today depends on various online services for websites, e-mail, Voip and others. For a smooth process, the DNS servers that manage requests for these services must always be available and be able to respond quickly. In order to continue to guarantee you a secure and high-performance DNS administration in the future, we have switched our name server infrastructure to anycast technology in the past few weeks.



What is anycast?



In contrast to the unicast technology used so far, in which individual IP addresses are always assigned to a name server, when using anycast it is possible to assign several servers to one IP address. This technology makes it possible that queries are always answered by the name server that is closest. This distributes and reduces the load of all inquiries on the responsible server.



What changes are there?



With numerous servers spread over five continents, our new DNS service guarantees security and fast resolution times worldwide. Further advantages of the changeover are the complete DNSSEC support and an extended name server set.



DNSSEC ensures the authenticity and integrity of the data stored in the DNS. In this way, resource records are assigned and secured with digital certificates. With DNSSEC, you offer a high-quality service to customers who rely on the operating data of the domains being transmitted in an unadulterated manner.



We have also added a third host name to our name server set. You can now store the following name servers for your customer domains:

ns1.namesecure.de

ns2.namesecure.de

ns3.namesecure.de



Please note: The name server services with anycast are still free of charge for all domains managed via WebWide. Domains that you enter in our name servers but manage via a different provider / registrar are billed at EUR 0.25 per month and zone.



How can I use nameservers under my own domain?



It is optionally possible to use our state-of-the-art anycast DNS service under your own domain, for example ns1 / ns2 / n3.mydomain.de. If you are interested, please contact our sales department!
