LiteSpeed Technologies is pleased to announce QUIC.cloud DNS!<\/p>\n
In order for QUIC.cloud (or any CDN) to work properly, DNS is required. A DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names to IP addresses, and facilitates the transfer of information around the internet.<\/p>\n
With QUIC.cloud\u2019s new DNS service, you no longer have to configure a separate DNS provider for use with our CDN. You can configure DNS right from your QUIC.cloud dashboard<\/a>, for full CDN integration.<\/p>\n QUIC.cloud DNS detects your current DNS configuration and provides an easy-to-use interface. You can easily modify and adjust your DNS records as needed.<\/p>\n Some DNS providers do not support CNAME flattening, but CNAME flattening is required in order to use QUIC.cloud CDN with a root domain. By letting QUIC.cloud handle your DNS needs, you enable root domain support for the CDN service.<\/p>\n When you take advantage of QUIC.cloud\u2019s built-in DNS, you get better integration with the CDN itself, but more importantly, you get potentially more accurate geolocation for your visitors. This matters because QUIC.cloud can make a more informed decision about which node to serve a request from, when it has a correct visitor location.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve seen other DNS providers use databases that are rarely up to date. And we\u2019ve seen other DNS providers rely on a proxy IP address rather than the visitor\u2019s own IP. In such situations, it is not uncommon for the DNS to report an incorrect visitor location. Acting on bad information, the CDN then serves content from a less-than-ideal node location.<\/p>\n QUIC.cloud\u2019s new DNS service uses a feature called ECS (EDNS-Client-Subnet), whereby a visitor\u2019s subnet is provided as part of the DNS query. This allows us to use accurate location information to make better informed node selections. Better node selection means your site travels a shorter distance to your visitors, which means a faster, better user experience.<\/p>\n QUIC.cloud DNS is available only for users of the QUIC.cloud CDN. It is included free of charge, and is ready to use today!<\/p>\n You can find QUIC.cloud DNS on your dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out our setup guide<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n — QUIC.cloud DNS provides better integration with the CDN, gets accurate geolocation for your visitors, and speeds up your site!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11895,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,22],"tags":[56,91,316],"class_list":["post-11628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company-news","category-quic-cloud","tag-cdn","tag-dns","tag-wordpress"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/QCDNS.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lswp.store\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Setup is Easy<\/h2>\n
