Unicast is a DNS routing scheme and is how most DNS networks work. An easy way to think of Unicast networks is one-to-one. Unicast is taking an IP address and assigning it to ONE unique nameserver. If you have the following nameservers: ns1, ns2, ns3, each one of those nameservers will be responsible for answering certain queries. If ns2 goes down due to power outage or severe weather, the server will move on to the next available unicast server. If the second server goes down due to being overloaded, your domain will be fully inaccessible.
If Unicast is one-to-one, Anycast is one-to-many. Anycast is taking the same IP address and assigning it to multiple locations across the network. In the same scenario as above, your website isn’t just hosted at one location (or on one nameserver), it is hosted on multiple name servers, in multiple locations. So, if one server in the Anycast cluster goes down, your website won’t go down with it. The queries will just be answered by the next server instead. Anycast is used to help distribute traffic and query load across the entire network, so one point of presence (PoP) isn’t always doing all of the work. This helps keep the network fast and reliable. Anycast also helps to ensure that someone visiting your website from Tokyo, Japan, queries the server that is closest to their location. This helps to ensure that the website loads quickly.
TTL, Time To Live is how many seconds the recursive DNS server should cache (remember) the IP address your hostname resolves to.
Yes, you may use No-IP Plus Managed DNS for your domain's DNS even if it is hosted at a different registrar. You will simply update your NS Records to No-IP’s name servers.
Secondary DNS ensures that your DNS is redundant. If you already have a Managed DNS provider, you can have No-IP’s infrastructure act as a backup to your primary DNS in the event that your main provider should ever go offline. Allocating a secondary DNS provider is an easy way to avoid unnecessary downtime.
Yes! We actually highly recommend this. If your DNS is managed somewhere else and they happen to go down, your website will go down with it. Once your website is down, you won’t be able to make any record updates until your Primary DNS server is back up.
Assigning a Secondary DNS provider eliminates this problem. In the same scenario, if your DNS at your main DNS provider goes down, your Secondary DNS will then kick into action. This means that your website will stay available, even though your primary DNS server is down. To learn more about how this works, check out this blog The Importance of DNS Diversification.
