DNS Fast Anycast replicates your domain's DNS worldwide to reduce latency and increase the availability of your websites.

Introduction

• With DNS Fast Anycast, the DNS of your domain are replicated across several Points of Presence (POP) around the world (list below).
• No matter where your visitors are located, they are redirected to the nearest DNS server to them, which on average increases (DNS resolution) the speed of access to your site by 34%.
• Moreover, if one of your DNS servers becomes unavailable, the nearest server automatically takes over, allowing your visitors to continue accessing your site.
• The replication of your domain's DNS is automatic and no modification of your code is required.
