Customer Case Study GEO DNS Case Study

See why SecurityCoverage selected CloudfloorDNS as their Secondary DNS provider. They use Dyn as their primary DNS and suffered during a massive attack Dyn had against their network in late 2016. As a result of the attack they experienced unplanned downtime which cost them many thousands of dollars in lost business and productivity. Teaming up with CloudFloorDNS as a Secondary DNS provides them additional assurance that they will never again suffer a total DNS outage.

Read the Case Study

Secondary DNS gives us the additional insurance against a major DNS outage. When the Dyn outage happened in 2016 we immediately put a plan in place to add a Secondary DNS to the mix. It was an easy decision when we compared it to the extraordinary cost of DNS downtime

Eric Christoffersen VP - IT & Development

Why implement a backup DNS Solution?

DDoS attacks, malware and other DNS attacks are on the rise and are a growing threat to any digital online business. Adding a Secondary Managed DNS provider is a low cost option that can help you avoid expensive unplanned downtime in the event of a DNS attack or provider outage.

Backing up your DNS takes only minutes to setup and your DNS zones will be instantly replicated onto our Global Anycast DNS network.
