Features

• Fully redundant, fault-tolerant, reliable name servers: Many domain owners run their own DNS, on the server their DNS points to.  If that server goes down, it then becomes very time consuming to change your DNS to point anywhere else.  So you should always run your DNS on a different server than the one to which it points to.  The Zonomi name servers are spread around the globe (London, Dallas, New York and Auckland). Making it tolerant to network or power failures in any one particular data center.

• Easy-to-use interface: used by thousands of users on over 30 thousand domains.

• Instant updates: Our name servers are powered by PowerDNS, a very popular and powerful DNS product. Rather than 'flat files', it can use a database back end.  Making it very efficient, capable of handling a huge number of domains and responding instantly to DNS lookup queries.  We use database replication to propagate DNS record changes to all our name servers instantly.

• Low TTLs, for when your details change often: Time-to-live (TTL) settings control how long a client will cache your DNS records.  Lower TTL values will enable you to change your IP addresses more quickly.  This is essential if you are using techniques like DNS failover.  Or if you are using a dynamic IP (e.g.  a IP dynamically assigned to you by your ISP) to host public service (like a website)with a domain name.

• Wildcard domain names: You can add in 'wildcard' records.  Like *.example.com so that any sub-domain in your domain zone can have an IP address.

• No setup fees, contracts, or commitments: Sign up.  Use the service.  No obligation.  Get free DNS hosting for a few domains.  Only provide credit card details or pay any money if you need one of our higher end professional DNS hosting plans.

• Any DNS record type: Enter whatever records types you need: A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, PTR, SRV, TXT (e.g.  SPF). You name it.

• Dynamic DNS: Use a basic HTTP GET request to update your domain's IP address.

• DNS API: Running a hosting company? Or need to automate the creation of new zones or updating of DNS records? We provide an easy to use, powerful API to automate API updates.

• Round robin DNS?: No problem.  We support that.  You can add multiple IP addresses for any domain name.

• No need to transfer your domain name registrar: Keep your current domain name registrar.  Just tell your registrar to set Zonomi's name servers for your domains.

• Integrates with Pingability's DNS fail over: Pingability's server monitoring service integrates with Zonomi so if a server fails it can automatically change your DNS to point to a different server.
