Avoid DNS downtime...
Use DNSimple as your Secondary DNS provider
Add DNSimple as a Secondary DNS provider, and improve the redundancy and resilience of your DNS zones hosted with any other third-party DNS service.
All companies should include a secondary DNS solution, because everyone's looking for the same thing when it comes to running their online presence: 100% uptime. Using multiple DNS providers helps ensure your services stay online.

Secondary DNS with DNSimple
Using the AXFR protocol, we automatically synchronize the records from your primary DNS provider. Use our API to configure us as secondary from your own scripts.
Fast response times
Some resolvers prefer name servers that respond to the fastest to queries. With additional name servers on your side, your zone will have more reliable and consistent response times.
API Ready
We've updated our API libraries — they're ready for plug-and-play Secondary DNS configuration in your scripts. Use our developer API to set up DNSimple as a secondary server for your hosted zones.
DNS redundancy
We automatically pull the zone from your primary DNS provider to our name servers. If your primary goes down, our name servers serve the requests to your domain without missing a beat.
Fewer errors
We double check your secondary DNS configuration before updating the name servers at the registrar. This makes errors less likely when configuring your Secondary DNS, so your domain won't break while the changes propagate.
