DNS as a Service
Reliable, sovereign DNS — included free, one vendor, one bill.
Overview
Authoritative DNS for your domains, managed from the same portal as the rest of your platform and included free on every account. Redundant nameservers in separate Canadian regions keep your domains resolving — without adding another vendor or another invoice.
What's included
- Included free on every account
- Redundant nameservers across two regions
- Managed from one portal with everything else
- Your domains, kept in Canada
- No extra vendor, no extra bill
