GeoDNS

Our GeoDNS service will respond to DNS queries made by visitors from specific countries or regions (such as Europe or Asia) with custom responses that you configure – maximizing performance and the user experience. For example, a query from the US can return one IP, the same query from Europe can return another, and queries made from all other countries can return yet another IP.

The easyDNS geographic database is updated frequently and is more than 99% accurate. When combined with easyDNS’ host monitoring and DNS failover, GeoDNS provides a robust, high-performance DNS solution.

Currently, GeoDNS is broken down into countries or continents – we do intend on developing state/province level granularity at some point.

The easyDNS GeoDNS service is included with our Enterprise service level and is an additional add-on for all other service levels.

If you’d like to enable this feature for your domain then please do the following.

2. Click on MANAGE.

3. Click on ENABLE GEODNS under DNS SETTINGS.

4. Click on OK to enable GeoDNS.

6. You will now notice that your DNS SETTINGS page will now have GEOZONE options for various record types.

7. You will now have a dropdown menu where you can select the various continents/countries for your GeoDNS.

8. Once the changes have been finalized you will notice the GeoDNS update within your DNS Settings page.
