PremiumDNS Reviews

It's been incredibly easy to setup and managed compared to other services such as G0daddy

It's more difficult to setup with IAC than providers like GCP or AWS, but you can solve this with terraform

Managing a small DNS for personal and small business projects.

It ensures ensures 100% uptime for DNS services and it includes built-in DDoS protection to defend against distributed denial-of-service attacks

it lacks advanced DNS management options

Downtime Prevention: With its 100% DNS uptime guarantee, PremiumDNS ensures that websites remain accessible, avoiding the losses associated with site downtime.

Faster DNS Resolution: The global Anycast network reduces latency, leading to faster DNS queries and improved website loading times, enhancing user experience.

We have been already using Namecheap for Domains and Hosting so it was only logical to use them for their PremiumDNS service as well. Namecheap has garnered an excellent reputation over the years for quality service and customer support which was important to use. Their DNS service is easy to use and implement and works as expected.

There is some minor UI/UX design annoyances I didn't like with it but nothing major, most DNS services don't have the best interface either, it's kind of hard to design around what this entails at times.

The Namecheap PremiumDNS is improtant to us because of the added security and reliabilty added to our DNS service, the 100% Uptime SLA and DDoS protection is very important to us to help give us the protection we need. Managing DNS is often a pain and nobody wants to do it but with Namecheap PremiumDNS is makes it a lot easier to handle.

Very easy to work with, the online management tool is clear and intuitive to use.

I haven't found any downsides to the product, I only wish that it was included if you are already paying for hosting service.

PremiumDNS is clearly faster than the free offering, is directly managed from within your account, and gives you different name servers than the free ones which helps prevent your domains from being associated with scammers.

At Course Researchers we have been using Namecheap hosting services, and they usually offer BasicDNS and PremiumDNS. We upgraded to Premium DNS, and since then our website has never went down. The fast services offered by PremiumDNS have been fundamental in boosting our business. Unlike the free DNS, PremiumDNS is amazing in boosting the website sales through traffic generation. PremiumDNS allows an online visitor to connect to the website fast since the site is always available.

Despite PremiumDNS having the huge benefits to the user, it may be very costly especially when it becomes insecure. Namecheap PremiumDNS offers quality services but provides an avenue through which the hackers can attack your website and either steal customers' sensitive information or bring it down. For example, I once received an email notification that my Namecheap IP address had been locked out of site for brute-forcing and trying many times to access a file that did not exist. I was a bit worried, because that has never happened before only to realize that the DNS was insecure at the moment. Although the attack did not affect my business because of the extra security I have in place, I think Namecheap should work on its PremiumDNS and make it more secure.

Use PremiumDNS to keep your website secure and available throughout.

I am using PremiumDNS for security purposes, to make it easily accessible by the potential customers and to keep my website available throughout. This has increased my business performance and customer satisfaction as well.
