DNS API

Our brand new DNS service 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. DNS is a fundamental piece of a domain offering and we believe all customers should have access to a solid and secure DNS infrastructure. This is why we are retiring our old Premium DNS offering and are making this new DNS service our standard option for all domains registered through HEXONET. Beginning April 1st, we will no longer charge for any Premium DNS subscription and it will not be possible to activate new Premium DNS subscriptions. Resellers and Customers will still be able to manage these zones as before through our API and interfaces. Over the coming weeks, we will be removing all references to Premium DNS from our interfaces and making it easier for you to manage all your DNS zones together. During this transition period you might see references to Premium DNS and receive renewal notices for Premium DNS zones, but no charges will be applied. To learn more about DNS management via the Control Panel, go to DNS in Control Panel.
