While you may be aware this system is responsible for not only streamlining access to websites, but thwarting malicious cyberattacks, this system also plays a direct role in the overall performance and reliability of online enterprises. When your network experiences such scenarios as outages or sluggish performance, the speed and performance of your online applications also suffer.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, DNS is the key capable of unlocking the digital door to your target audience. Because of it\u2019s importance, many small businesses and large corporations are making the move away from traditional DNS systems and into the virtualized world of cloud-based solutions.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in learning more about the capabilities of cloud-based DNS systems, then it\u2019s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcom-tools.com\/web-performance\/blog\/understanding-dns-record-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">understand<\/a> exactly what this new system is, and more importantly, what are its benefits?<\/p>\n<h2>Dedicated DNS for Profound Stability<\/h2>\n<p>Implementing a global DNS system requires a vast array of resources, not to mention expense and complications. The same is true when you\u2019re trying to create an in-house solution. If resource allocation isn\u2019t a problem, then your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be. Many ISPs aren\u2019t capable of delivering dynamic and future-proof DNS performance. However, with most cloud-based DNS systems, you\u2019ll receive a dedicated DNS system along with a tailored management and maintenance based upon your network needs.<\/p>\n<h2>The Fuel for Extreme Performance<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for a way to boost DNS performance for your enterprise, then cloud-based DNS solutions may be ideal due to its notoriously simple scalability. In fact, some cloud DNS providers offer automatic scaling of resources, which means it\u2019s capable of handling massive amounts of data. For many plans, it\u2019s possible to manufacture and maintain millions of records. This is generally powered by advanced name servers designed for automation.<\/p>\n<h3>Improved Security Capabilities<\/h3>\n<p>Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, then you understand the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcom-tools.com\/web-performance\/blog\/most-common-dns-security-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online security<\/a>. While traditional DNS systems offer a baseline level of protection, cloud-based infrastructures are safeguarded on a completely different level. By activating the flexibility and performance of the cloud, it\u2019s possible to thwart even the most complex hacking attempts. This is generally due to the Anycast Servers, which are notoriously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dotcom-tools.com\/web-performance\/blog\/dns-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more secure<\/a> than Unicast Servers.<\/p>\n<p>Should an attack happen, Anycast Servers that power the cloud shield individual IP Addresses from servers. Another noteworthy feature is its ability to deflate the impact of a DDoS attack by automatically distributing the resource requirements of such an attack across a large network of resources.<\/p>\n<h3>Always On for Consistent Performance<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of DNS cloud systems keep your site\u2019s performance stellar by ensuring its primed and ready for access. Cloud-based DNS solutions offer unparalleled redundancy and failover safeguards. By maintaining adequate performance resources and maximizing continuity, cloud-based DNS systems offer a significant boost in overall performance. Of course, all of these benefits and advantages are completely flexible. The customization capabilities offered by cloud-based solutions is impressive and needed for modern internet enterprises.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Free Online DNS Trace Test&#8221; h4=&#8221;Check DNS propagation from two dozen different root locations&#8221; add_button=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Test Now&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;green&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dotcom-tools.com%2FDNS-lookup-tools.aspx||target:%20_blank|&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1532726888339{background-color: #c2e9f8 !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As many of you may already know, DNS is an integral aspect of the internet.
