DeployLinux DNS Configuration - May 2010

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
The primary authoritive DNS nameserver for our client domains is:

     thepostman.deploylinux.net

This is because unlike everyone else, I thought thepostman was a good movie.

Our secondary nameservers are:

     consul.deploylinux.net

     centurion.deploylinux.net

     ns5.dnsmadeeasy.com

     ns6.dnsmadeeasy.com

     ns7.dnsmadeeasy.com

   
Thepostman, consul, and centurion are located within our San Diego datacenter and also provide responses to recursive dns queries made from virtual machines.

The three dnsmadeeasy name servers are geographically distributed and built to handle significant DoS attacks.     The combination of both local and distributed servers allows us to maximize reliability w/o depending on any single platform.

To migrate a domain to DeployLinux hosted DNS, clients should:
     a) first open a ticket within our support portal at https://support.deploylinux.net/
     b) DeployLinux techs will verify that a new zone file is created for your domain and that any prior records are transfered.  If you desire, we may also migrate your domain to our domain registry and handle all future domain renewals on your behalf.
     c) Update their domain register to point domains to the nameservers above.

Future changes to DNS should also be handled by opening up support tickets.

DeployLinux does also provide domain registration services at a flat rate of $15/yr/domain.  We realize this is a little more expensive than $7.99 at godaddy/etc, but in our experience the cheaper domain registration vendors tend to have reliability issues which result in at least a few hours/yr of domain downtime.    They may also have limits of how popular your site can get and how many dns responses they will process.   The $15/yr flat rate allows us to host the largest sites w/o any additional charges and with personal support/service.

Our hosting clients typically receive a limited number of free domain registrations and DNS hosting w/ each VM.  Note that information above is specific to .com domains.    Other domain extensions may have different handling and rates.
