Compare CDNetworks Cloud DNS vs. Control D

CDNetworks Cloud DNS+ offers a comprehensive managed authoritative DNS service that is not only secure but also reliable and scalable, ensuring high performance under varying traffic conditions from any global location. The implementation of CDNS+ involves a straightforward three-step process, which includes organizing domains into zone files, publishing those zone files, and making delegation changes via the domain registrar. After the zone is transferred to CDNS+, users benefit from our robust and secure infrastructure, which guarantees consistent website availability and responsiveness for users worldwide. Additionally, the Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) feature within Cloud DNS+ allows organizations to integrate various delivery strategies, effectively aligning with both business and technical requirements. Once CDNS+ assumes authority over a particular zone, CLB is capable of applying sophisticated load balancing policies to DNS queries, managing user traffic in real-time to enhance performance and operational efficiencies while also adapting to changing demands. This powerful combination of features makes CDNetworks Cloud DNS+ an essential tool for organizations looking to optimize their online presence.
