Efficient network paths
Resolvers can reach a node through the route preferred by their network, which can shorten the path to a DNS response.
DISTRIBUTED DNS INFRASTRUCTURE
Anycast DNS for your domains.
Distributed DNS for websites, email and applications. Anycast routes queries to an available node through the network’s preferred path. Manage up to 20 domains for $1.99 per year.

HOW ANYCAST WORKS
One DNS address. Multiple places to answer.
The same DNS IP address is announced from multiple network locations. Internet routing selects a preferred path to an available node.

Shared DNS IP address • Consistent zone records • Multiple answering nodes
Conceptual diagram, not a map of physical sites. The preferred route is selected by the network and is not necessarily the geographically closest node. Failover depends on routing convergence.
Distributed by design.
Anycast brings your DNS service to multiple network locations.
Resilience across nodes
If a node or route becomes unavailable, routing can direct subsequent requests to another available node after convergence.
Distributed query load
Requests from different networks can be handled at different nodes, spreading work across the DNS infrastructure.
One set of nameservers
Keep the nameservers supplied with your service while DNS requests are handled across the Anycast network.
Consistent DNS records
Manage your domain records centrally while the distributed service provides DNS answers.
Keep your current registrar
Use Anycast DNS for up to 20 domains without moving their registration or your server hosting.
The right records for each service.
Common DNS records connect your domain to the systems behind it.
Websites & servers
Point a hostname to an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Host aliases
Point a subdomain to another hostname.
Email & verification
Set mail destinations and publish records supplied by your email or application provider.

DNS questions, answered.
What makes Anycast different?
The same DNS IP address is announced from multiple nodes. Network routing selects where each request is answered. If a route becomes unavailable, another node can handle requests after routing updates.
What does the annual price include?
One Anycast DNS package costs $1.99 per year and supports up to 20 domains.
Do I need an NKtelecom server?
No. Anycast DNS is a standalone service and can point your domains to servers hosted elsewhere.
Do I need to move my domains?
No. Keep your current registrar and update the domain’s nameservers after preparing its DNS records.
Which nameservers should I use?
Use the nameservers supplied with your Anycast DNS service in the client area. Prepare each zone before changing delegation.
Will DNS changes take effect immediately?
DNS caches and delegation updates take time. Existing TTL values affect how quickly changes are seen. Keep the old DNS service working during migration.
