Premium DNS

Solve top DNS issues to improve security, reliability and performance.

What good is your website if visitors can't reach it? Premium DNS makes it easy to resolve common issues that prevent people from accessing your site, improving your overall performance, availability and security.

Better security

Problem: Hackers attempt to hijack your site and steal customer data.

Hijacking is a risk with all DNS systems around the world. It's a common way for hackers to steal private information. When a customer types in your Web address, the hacker interrupts the DNS lookup process and sends the user to a fake and malicious site that may look like your website.

Solution: Premium DNS (enabled with DNSSEC) creates an unbreakable "chain of trust" between the visitor's browser and your server, verifying that the visitor is actually arriving at your website.

Problem: Keep all Web exchanges private.

Another way hackers steal credit card numbers and other sensitive information is through "eavesdropping." Hackers sit on the DNS server and "listen in" on messages, logins and passwords as customers access your site.

Solution: By verifying the visitor is at the intended website, Premium DNS shuts eavesdropping down.

Greater reliability

Problem: "Website not found" errors cause you to lose visitors and sales.

It's never good when users get a "website not found" error. At best, they think you're unprofessional; at worst, they think you don't exist.

Solution: Premium DNS makes sure your site is always available by using the Anycast global network, which provides multiple layers of redundancy. Your DNS records are distributed on servers throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia, so if one server should go down, your website will still be online. With unlimited secondary DNS, you always have a failsafe in case of a major outage.

Faster performance

Problem: Visitors experience delays or "time outs" trying to reach your site.

There's a lot riding on the physical distance between your visitors and your server. Customers who live far away may experience a delay in reaching your site or even get a "website not found" error message. The more cable between your server and your customer's computer, the longer it takes for them to reach your site.

Solution: The Premium DNS infrastructure offers improved security and faster resolution than the standard infrastructure. And since your information is distributed across DNS servers around the world, customers connect to the closest server location for a quicker response.

Certified Domain

Let website visitors know you're the real deal.

Thanks to phishing, pharming, and a long list of other scams, Web visitors grow more wary by the day. But there is something you can do to reassure them you're one of the good guys: Put a Certified Domain validation seal on your website.

• Distinctive seal displayed on your website and WhoIs listing shows visitors and potential customers that you are the legal originator of your domain name.
• The validation process is simple and can generally be completed in 10 minutes, with the Certified Domain seal issued to your site within 1 business day.
• Our Certified Domain seal is dynamic — difficult to forge!

The Certified Domain validation process is quick and easy.

• To acquire Certified Domain accreditation, you must undergo a credentials check that confirms the contact information provided with your domain registration.
• Once the credentials have been authenticated, Fundy Hosting electronically issues a non-transferable Certified Domain seal that you can load to your website and WhoIs display. This process can generally be completed in 10 minutes, with the Certified Domain seal issued to your site within 1 business day.
• The seal remains there until it expires or until a change in your domain contact information makes it necessary for you to reapply for accreditation.

Forwarding & Masking

ADD FORWARDING!

Forwarding just might be the best, hardest-working domain bargain going!
Now you can put any domain name to work, whether you've built a site for it or not. Just select a domain name (or names), add forwarding, and any visitor who types in that name will be redirected to the existing site you designate.
Forwarding is especially useful if you have a site with a long, complicated address. Now you can just register a simpler domain name (easily done using one of the less common top level domains, like .BIZ instead of .COM, for example) and then forward it. It's that easy.

ADD FORWARDING AND MASKING!

Domain masking lets you protect the address of a particular site, while still allowing customers to access the content. Here's how it works:
First, you register a domain name, say, domain1.com. This is only an address, though; domain1.com is not going to have its own web site. You use this address to display the content of another web site, say, forwarded-to.com.
So your visitors type in www.domain1.com and see the display from the forwarded-to.com web site. But they do not see the forwarded-to.com address.

ADD MASKING!

Domain masking lets you protect the address of a particular site, while still allowing customers to access the content.
When you just use forwarding, the forwarding address will not appear in the browser's address field after the forwarding is completed. When you add masking, the forwarding address will always stay in the browser's address field and hide the real destination's address.
In addition to the URL, the Mask Meta Tags feature allows you to enter a title, plus description and keywords Meta tag information for the masked domain. Title and Meta tag information is important to a Web site's search engine ranking, but does not influence how a Web site is being displayed.
