Overview
HTTPDNS forwards DNS requests to DNS servers using the HTTP(S) protocol, replacing the conventional approach of relying on local DNS servers provided by ISPs. This helps mitigate domain name hijacking and issues related to cross-network access caused by local DNS servers. Additionally, it eliminates DNS exceptions encountered in mobile internet services.
Benefits
Internet-Wide DNS
HTTPDNS is capable of resolving domain names from various sources on the internet, encompassing those registered via Cloud, DNSPod, as well as any other third-party registrars.
Smart Scheduling
HTTPDNS obtains users’ authentic IP addresses directly and utilizes an exclusive IP database and speed assessment system to direct requests to the most efficient and optimal node.
Security and Hijacking Protection
DNS queries are routed directly to the HTTPDNS server, circumventing the local DNS of the Internet Service Provider (ISP). HTTPDNS additionally offers support for secure encryption methods such as AES, DES, and HTTPS, enhancing the security of the query process.
Convenient Connection
HTTPDNS integration is seamless via API and SDK, facilitating swift connection for both iOS and Android platforms.
Accelerated DNS
HTTPDNS enhances the efficiency of authoritative DNS resolution for domain names hosted in DNSPod, resulting in further acceleration.
High Stability and Reliability
HTTPDNS guarantees a minimum service availability of 99.99%, ensuring the DNS service maintains exceptionally high stability and reliability.
Features
Eliminated ISP Local DNS Exceptions
HTTPDNS supplants the conventional DNS approach utilized by both mobile and desktop applications with the HTTP(S) protocol, thereby circumventing network access issues stemming from errors in the ISP’s local DNS service.
Lowered DNS Delay and Hijacking Risk
At present, HTTPDNS serves over 400 million users. Businesses connected to this service experience a significant decrease of over 60% in user access failures resulting from domain name hijacking, along with an average reduction of 22% in access latency.
Globally Deployed BGP Anycast Network
HTTPDNS is integrated with the BGP Anycast network architecture, establishing BGP interconnection with the leading 17 Chinese ISPs. This ensures rapid access to the HTTPDNS server for user requests from ISPs. Additional ISPs are continually being connected to further enhance service responsiveness.
Scenarios
Mobile applications can swiftly utilize the SDK to facilitate rapid development, subsequently directing DNS queries to the HTTPDNS server via the HTTP or HTTPS protocol for precise resolution. HTTPDNS employs various encryption techniques to safeguard transmitted data integrity. In the event of exceptions, DNS queries can still be forwarded to the ISP’s local DNS server through the DNS protocol. Moreover, for domain names resolved by DNSPod, HTTPDNS can seamlessly integrate data updates, ensuring that DNS record modifications are promptly reflected within seconds.
