Our Global Anycast DNS

We're thrilled to announce that all our shared hosting now runs on our upgraded Anycast DNS network. This upgrade provides significantly faster lookup times, rock-solid reliability, and enhanced redundancy for your websites.

Even better, it makes setting up your domains an absolute doddle. We've completely simplified our infrastructure, meaning there is no longer a need to hunt around for platform-specific or location-specific records. Whether your hosting is in the UK, the US, or Germany, all shared hosting accounts now use the exact same global set of nameservers.

Shared Hosting Nameservers

Please update your domain registrar with the following records. For the absolute best redundancy and performance, we highly recommend adding all four to your domain:

  • ns1.hostns.io (75.2.86.204)

  • ns2.hostns.io (166.117.220.151)

  • ns3.hostns.io (91.204.209.239)

  • ns4.hostns.io (185.73.8.239)


📌 A Quick Note on Dedicated Servers & VPS

If you are running a Dedicated Server or a VPS, the shared Anycast nameservers above won't apply to you. We don't offer a shared DNS service for these custom environments. Instead, you'll need to ensure BIND is running locally on your own machine to serve your DNS zones.
