Adding ns3 Name Server to your domain name

Adding 3rd Name Server to your domain name

Addition of Global DNS server:

VH engineers have created a global redundant DNS (Domain Name Service) server located in the US as a failover server outside of our own infrastructure to keep DNS live when and if unplanned service outages occur.

Benefits of external DNS server

  • Failover & Redundancy to our current DNS servers
  • Keep Mail, Domain Names, Server IP addresses etc alive on the internet for extended periods of time while server interruptions are being resolved
  • Help with mail queuing and resolution
