RSS FeedNew POP in Japan
Great news for our customers! ClouDNS is in Japan with a new point of presence (POP). We now operate 24 Anycast DNS facilities on six continents.
The network connectivity is from our partner New Media Express with a direct link to the major exchanges in the country - JPIX and Equinix Tokyo. We are connected to JPNIC and some of the primary telecom providers in the country, providing us maximum speed and performance in the country.
Maybe this is not the POP you’re looking for? Contact us with your suggestions and feedback.
Thank you for using our service.
Premium network connectivity to China
Exciting news for our China customers!
We have added an extra peer in our Hong Kong Data Center with direct connectivity to Mainland China.
Now all the traffic to Mainland China is routed through our new premium link.
The newly established connection improves the latency for our Anycast Network to Mainland China.
The latency to China Unicom, China Telecom, Tencent, and Alibaba is now up to 4 times better!
DNSSEC Release
Our team has worked very hard to give you DNSSEC for more than just secondary. As of today, DNSSEC is available and for primary as well.
DNSSEC is a feature that authenticates responses. It prevents attackers from manipulating or infiltrating the responses to DNS requests. You can read more about DNS Spoofing at our blog.
How to set up DNSSEC?
Just click the activation button in the control panel, and our system will secure the zone. You will be required only to add the DS records at the provider. Setup is completed!
How safe is it?
Well, we are using the Elliptical Curve Algorithm (ECDSA P-256) for all signatures, which is stronger and smaller than the standard RSA keys.
Will all this slow you down?
No. We are keeping DNS answers as small as possible, which means faster speed for you! Additionally, our Anycast DNS Network provides more rapid responses from the closest location to the resolver.
Is something wrong?
No matter what day, no matter when, we provide continuous, uninterrupted network monitoring and support. Live chat or a ticket, your choice! Our Technical Support team is online for you 24/7.
Feedback, new ideas, or anything, is always welcomed. Never hesitate to contact us about something you need! You are ClouDNS!
ENUM (E164) Release
Today we like to introduce our ENUM DNS service. ENUM is a system for telephone number mapping, which unifies the international telephone number system with the Internet addressing namespaces. In other words, telecom administrators can now create NAPTR DNS records and choose which server to handle the phone calls for the given number.
The new E.164 zones are available both for primary and secondary. No extra charge! Read the documentation here for more details on how to create E.164 zones.
This new management system is part of our DNS hosting plans - Premium and DDoS Protected DNS.
We like to keep everything easy and fast. ENUM zones are to be created within seconds from the web control panel or automatically with our HTTP API.
The Failover DNS is a powerful feature we have released a year ago. The service is used by many of our customers to monitor their DNS records and update them dynamically in case of down events. Last month we released a lot of new monitoring locations and currently, we have 42 monitoring locations to check the uptime of our your servers.
Today we are releasing a new feature to keep your monitoring smarter - Monitoring Regions. With this new option, you can specify from which regions to monitor your failover records. Available Monitoring Regions:
- Global - to monitor from all available nodes, this is the default option for all existing records
- Europe - the record will be monitored only from nodes located in Europe
- North America - only nodes in North America will be used for the monitoring checks
The new option for Monitoring Regions allows you to monitor your GeoDNS records only from the area where they are responsible or to build more advanced configurations for your regular non-GeoDNS records.

During the recent months, we actively worked on some improvements for the control panel look. Today we have released significant improvement for almost all the DNS functionality in our control panel. The new interface includes not only better web design but also implements mobile responsive version. Currently, you can manage all your DNS settings on mobile devices with optimized navigation!
The work continues! Soon we will implement mobile responsive design and navigation for the management of the domain names too!
With our current deployment, we have also added an option to configure limits for the DNS failover for your HTTP API sub-users. The new feature also improves the possibilities for customization of the resources for your customers under our white-label reseller control panel too (panel.cloudns.net).
