Detect DNS corruption and nameserver downtime
The DNS system is the first stop in a user's journey on their way to you. When nameservers are slow or completely down, the user will be delayed in reaching your site, or won't be able to access it at all, because you can't access a server without knowing its IP address.
Worse, corruptions in the DNS records can send users to different or outdated locations, and the errors might only be visible to the users who had the misfortune of reaching one of the nameservers with corrupted data.
Our DNS monitoring solution will verify each nameservers, ensuring the reachability of your services, and will notify you whenever a problem arises.
