-HEXONET has recently upgraded its entire DNS service, with the support of our colleagues in the CentralNic Registry DNS team. Old servers have been retired and a brand new, state-of-the-art Anycast network has taken their place. 13 nodes in 5 continents, with hundreds of servers split in 3 separate clouds ensure that your domains resolve fast and securely all over the world. Our average response time has dropped from 131 to 28 milliseconds, a level of performance that most providers can barely dream of.

-A number of DNS zones that were created before October 15th, 2018 and where HEXONET is NOT the registrar of the domain (External) are currently still classified as Legacy DNS zones. These DNS zones will continue to operate unaffected and unchanged under the original agreed terms and conditions, including the monthly service fees. While we do plan to convert LEGACY DNS zones to regular zones in the coming weeks, To help us speed up the clean up process, Resellers with active Legacy zones are strongly encouraged to convert them to regular Premium DNS zones (as mentioned above, the "premium" label will remain but no charge will apply to these converted zones).
