Our Dedicated DNS servers can automatically load all your CPanel DNS information without any intervention.
A Dedicated DNS server is a server (or cluster of servers) whose ONLY function and objective is to maintain the DNS service up and running.
DNS is the most important part of any Internet site - without DNS, the web would not run.
Additionaly, Email and all Internet services rely on DNS to be available all the time.
A Dedicated DNS server is therefore needed to ensure that DNS is available and working properly 100% of the time.
To obtain this objective, the Dedicated DNS server runs only the DNS service and no other services such as websites (WWW) or Email (SMTP/POP3/IMAP/etc) or FTP.
This ensures that no other service can interfere with the DNS and that all resources are dedicated to the DNS service.

FAQ
But I have my own Dedicated CPanel server with my own named/bind already running
Wonderful. Now you need to ensure server uptime. You may want to run DNS on a seperate server then your CPanel/Ensim/Plesk www websites.
Get seperate Dedicated DNS servers, and set the ns1/ns2 for all your websites to the seperate Dedicated DNS servers.

Why do I need seperate DNS servers? My server is running WWW and DNS just fine!
If you have WWW + DNS and your WWW server goes down, not only all your WWW is down, but also all your DNS is down.
Also, if you run WWW/Email/SQL + DNS on the same server and the server is overloaded, your DNS server may be slowed down as a result and can become a bottleneck in every domain in tries to resolve.
Running DNS on the same server as WWW/Email or other services is bad - because if that server goes down, the DNS is also down.
Any other websites that rely on this DNS server will also be down - double trouble.
What's more, to change your DNS to a new IP would take 24 hours or more at your domain registrar (netsol.com/godaddy.com/register.com/opensrs/etc).

Having seperate DNS servers will keep your DNS up even if your WWW server is down. Changing IPs would be immediate, (also depending on TTL and a few other other configurable settings) and no waiting for 24 hours.

"But CPanel/Ensim/Plesk manages all DNS changes!"
The most frequent problem webhosts have with DNS is:
"True, I need Dedicated DNS, but how will I manage it?"
"My hosting server does ALL DNS changes automatically for me! It creates all DNS zones, makes sure to (try at least to) restart named on every change, and even updates the DNS zones when I make changes and those changes are available to me in a few hours!

Here's where we come in.
We are running a global Primary DNS service that works with all hosting platforms.
You can start using our Dedicated DNS within 5 minutes - no extra configuration required on your part.
The main advantages of our DNS service is:
- Compatible with all platforms - Linux/Windows/CPanel/H-Sphere/Ensim/Plesk/etc
- Instant plug-and-play - no changes needed on your CPanel servers.
- No work on your part - if your server already has 1000's of domains on it, our DNS servers will automatically load them.
- Changes are instant - Configurable TTL
- Global change - change 1000's of websites IPs in 1 second
- Search and edit - Find and edit any domain on any of your servers instantly.
- DNS Setup - Setup as Primary or Backup DNS service
- 100% uptime - redundant DNS servers

Contact for details.

Failover Case Study
A webhost using our service is running:
7 CPanel servers
1 Windows2k server
2 backup CPanel servers
If any of the 7 CPanel servers go down, one of the backup servers is automatically put online. Instantly, all 1000's of websites and email are already working on the backup server.
All websites are set to their own:
ns1.thiswebhost.com
ns2.thiswebhost.com
=plus=
over 200 ns1.reseller.com / ns2.reseller.com

Their advantages:
- Instant IP address changes when new server or server moves.
- No DNS IP changing headaches
- No DNS server restart problems
- No waiting hours for changes - Customizable TTL from 1 second and up.
- Centralized management of all DNS zones on all servers.
- Multi-platform (windows/linux)

Hi,

Yes we have a website in planning.
Are we a real company? Yes

Free trials are available for some of our software, and some are completely free for small startup companies (our DNS service is FREE for 1 dedicated server, see above).

If you have an issue that involves web-hosting, let me know; we develop custom software that works with CPanel/Ensim/Plesk/HSPComplete and on Linux and Windows.

Looking forward to partner with visionary hosting companies and entrepreneurs.

-Matt

Re: SLA/Guarantee: Yes, we will customize an SLA and Guarantee for any companies specific needs.

How many websites do you run?

About 25 (mostly personal but a couple others to help pay for the server.)

How many dedicated servers (CPanel/Other)?

1 CPanel

DNS problems I ever had: (invalid zones, server not reloading, refresh time too long, etc)?

Refresh times too long when I've transferred servers.

Why do you need Reliable Dedicated DNS service?

Concerns since lower cost providers are resellers and you never know how soon they may go out of business.

Is 100% uptime important to your business?

Surprisingly it hasn't been yet (after all the troubles I've had, noone has left), though the answer is yes. 100% uptime is important to my stress level though
