DNS Fast Anycast replicates the DNS of your domain around the world to reduce latency and increase the availability of your websites.

Preamble

• Thanks to DNS Fast Anycast, the DNS of your domain are replicated within several Points of Presence (POP) around the world (list below).
• No matter where your visitors are, they are redirected to the nearest DNS server to them, which on average speeds up by 34% (DNS resolution) the access speed to your site.
• Moreover, if one of your DNS servers were to be unavailable, the nearest server naturally takes over and your visitors can continue to access your site.
• The replication of your domain's DNS is automatic and no modification of your code is required.
