Compared to basic DNS services, Premium DNS offers faster performance, greater uptime, and enhanced security—making it the smarter choice for businesses that can’t afford to slow down.

Owlnuts PremiumDNS runs on a global network of redundant Anycast locations, delivering reliable and lightning-fast DNS resolution, no matter where your visitors are. And the best part? It’s compatible with any domain name, no matter which registrar you’re using.

It depends on your project’s needs. If you’re managing high-traffic websites or platforms where speed and security are critical, then PremiumDNS is a smart investment.

Slow-loading sites or unexpected downtime can cost you sales and credibility, while security vulnerabilities can lead to serious damage. PremiumDNS helps protect your business by boosting performance and strengthening defense—making it an essential upgrade for serious web projects.

Public DNS uses recursive name servers that handle queries from anyone on the internet, making it widely accessible. In contrast, authoritative DNS servers—like those used in Namecheap’s PremiumDNS—hold the DNS records for your domain and respond directly to queries with accurate, up-to-date information.

PremiumDNS by Owlnuts offers the advantages of an authoritative service: enhanced security, faster response times, greater uptime, and SLA-backed reliability—along with full control and customization. Want to understand the key differences? Discover how free and Premium DNS stack up.

There are plenty of good reasons to invest in a premium DNS service. Performance is key—a slow or unreliable website can cost your business in lost traffic and revenue. But perhaps even more critical is protection against DDoS attacks, which can cause serious damage and downtime.

With PremiumDNS backed by a strong Service Level Agreement (SLA), you gain peace of mind knowing that your site’s performance and security are being handled by a reliable, high-performance infrastructure.

With every eligible domain registration or transfer, private domain protection is added to your cart and enabled by default—no extra steps needed. Your privacy starts the moment you check out.

PremiumDNS delivers advanced server protection with built-in DNSSEC, 100% uptime, and robust DDoS defense at the network level. Unlike many providers, it offers a smart global infrastructure with no hidden query limits—all at a price that’s accessible for businesses of any size.

Not all DNS providers offer the same level of security. Cheaper or less secure DNS services can leave you vulnerable to cyber threats, including DDoS attacks. Some competitors match this level of protection but charge premium rates tailored for giants like Amazon—PremiumDNS brings that same high-end security within reach.

Consider it handled. This service replaces your email address with a unique email address. Your “xyz.protect@withheldforprivacy.com” email address receives your email, filters it for spam, and then forwards it to an email address of your choice.Your private email address can be set to update automatically at regular intervals. So even if it ends up on a marketing list, it won’t be valid for long—keeping your inbox safe and your identity secure.

Price matters—but it’s not the only thing to look for in a domain registrar. Customer support, security, and simple account management are just as important. At Owlnuts, you get all of that as standard—plus competitive pricing that keeps your online journey affordable and stress-free.

DNS doesn’t directly control your internet speed, but it plays a crucial role in connecting you to websites. Since DNS handles the queries that translate domain names into IP addresses, delays can occur if servers are overloaded or require multiple reroutes to respond.

To minimize these delays, opting for a high-performance service like PremiumDNS ensures faster, more reliable query resolution. It reduces lag caused by traffic spikes or inefficient routing. If you’re experiencing DNS-related slowness, upgrading your DNS service is one of the most effective solutions.

PremiumDNS defends your website against DNS floods and amplification attacks that target the foundational layers (1–4) of internet infrastructure. These deeper-level attacks aim to overload and disrupt your site, unlike Layer 7 attacks which are typically handled by a CDN. As amplification attacks become more common, PremiumDNS offers essential protection to keep your site secure and online.

Advanced DNS DDoS protection is a key feature of PremiumDNS with Owlnuts. By using Anycast DNS, your DNS records are distributed across multiple global servers, enabling efficient query redistribution during an attack to prevent service disruptions.

In addition, CDN services can further enhance your security by redistributing your website’s content during high traffic or DDoS attacks, ensuring that your site remains operational even under pressure.
