EverDNS enhances the reliability of every Web-based application, which is especially important to mission-critical e-commerce and business applications.
What is DNS?
DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is the system that converts all "friendly names" (www.microsoft.com) into IP addresses (192.168.1.1) for Internet communication.
For more explanation hop over to Webmonkey's quick overview.
Today, most Internet business critical functions are supported by a best effort DNS system delivering sub-optimal reliability and just-the-way-it-is peculiarities. Today's DNS system is typically implemented using BIND, which is an "open source" DNS server application.
EverDNS Service and BIND offer two dramatically different approaches to manage and operate DNS systems. The main difference is that the EverDNS Service uses a fully integrated outsourced service approach while BIND uses a more do-it-yourself approach. EverDNS enhances the reliability of every Web-based application, which is especially important to mission-critical e-commerce and business applications.
Why do I care?
DNS is the #2 cause of all dropped Internet connections.
Have you ever typed in an address and have it return a "can't find" message, then retry to have the site magically appear? This is, typically, a DNS problem.
The service that we are proposing will provide, to name a few, the following:
Increased customer connection speeds.
Increased worldwide accessibility to DNS servers Changes propagated worldwide in 5 minutes instead of the 24 to 72 hours (if not more) we have had to wait in the past.
Increased security. Hackers do not have access to the source code.
We know what we are doing, saving time and grief trying to explain what is needed to a level 1 helpdesk person at the ISP or hosting company.
