Three geo-distributed nameservers: why it matters
Your DNS is served from three nameservers in different locations. This isn't just belt-and-braces — it's how DNS is meant to work, and it delivers real benefits:
- Resilience — resolvers try the nameservers in turn. If one node is down for maintenance or unreachable from a particular network, the others answer. Your domain never goes dark because of a single server.
- Speed — geographic spread means a resolver often reaches a nearby node, shaving milliseconds off every first lookup.
- Load spreading — query volume is shared across all three rather than hammering one box.
All three are kept in sync: when you edit a record in the panel, the change is pushed to every node so they answer identically. You don't manage them individually — you edit your zone once and it's live everywhere.
This is the same free DNS that comes with every Transcom domain; there's nothing extra to buy or configure for the redundancy.
