AscioDNS is a powerful management tool that gives you full control over DNS configuration. It’s accessible through both our XML-based API and Partner Portal web interface.
Having thousands of domains under management is a real challenge, especially for small businesses. Operating and maintaining a secure DNS network, as well as a server structure for web and mail forwarding, involves significant upfront and ongoing costs. To solve this problem, we have developed AscioDNS, an integrated solution for DNS hosting, domain registrations, and mail and domain forwarding.
With AscioDNS you get a high-performance, authoritative-only name server, which is used by many large corporations and is able to handle as many as 50,000 queries per second. The advantage of Ascio is that it is a name server based on a database. This means that it works faster because it does not need to reload after every change made.
