Anycast DNS

We provide a set of 4 Anycast name servers distributed across the globe in 18 POPs (point of presence) accessible via IPv4 and IPv6:

• ns1.luadns.net (Anycast, 185.142.218.1, 2001:67c:25a0::1)

Control Panel

We constantly improve and optimize our control panel for speed and easy of use.

Templates

A powerful template system which allows configuration reuse.

Web Redirects

Domains can be redirected using our control panel, relative, exact and frame redirects are supported.

Email Forwardings

When you want to forward the emails for a mailbox or all emails for a domain to your Gmail/Yahoo/etc account.

API Access

A simple REST API which allows users to manage zones and records.

Fast Propragation

We know how frustrating is to wait minutes for changes to propagate so we designed the service to distribute the updates to name servers in seconds.

External Slaves

We support zone transfers (AXFR) so you can combine LuaDNS name servers with external slaves.

Git Integration

Keep your configurations in Git and deploy them with a simple git push command. Lua scripting can be used to generate records (example git repository).

Unlimited queries

All our plans are coming with unlimited queries, to prevent abuses we impose a soft quota per user. The users who are reaching constantly their quota will be migrated to another set of name servers with unmetered bandwidth.

Uptime

We do our best to keep our name servers and application online and functional. To avoid human errors we are using version control system (Git) and infrastructure automation tools (Puppet) to deploy and to manage our servers. The web application and name servers are constantly monitored with Nagios and we are paged when issues are detected.
