Use time wisely tip #3: Choose a service with a proven track record. Don’t waste time on unsecure competitors. DNS is critical component of online media, which is why it is important to monitor and optimize DNS to ensure user satisfaction. Network speeds are mission-critical in providing fast resolution times for customer domains.

Use time wisely tip #4: Know your provider offers service and support for quick and easy access.Managing DNS is no easy task. Unfortunately, unless you have a whole team dedicated to keeping up with the latest changes in DNS, can constantly monitor for issues as well as resolve problems, issues can easily be missed. Outsourcing your web traffic management can sometimes seem like another unnecessary cost. Outsourcing some of your services to experts that value your money and provide great ROI can often save your organization money. Uptime and fast speeds helps ensure satisfied end users, which increases website visits and reduces abandon rates. All these factors can result in increased conversion and sales.
Use time wisely tip #5: Get proper security and don’t waste time on software that doesn’t work. In order to properly defend against attacks, be on the offensive and maintain uptime, outsourcing DNS is the best bet. DNS Made Easy thwarts attacks with an IP Anycast + system, which is a network infrastructure, made up multiple geographically distributed points of presence around the world. This routing provides global load balancing, redundancy, decreased latency, and a true distributed response to denial of service (DoS) and DDoS attacks. A network of this nature is fully redundant allowing traffic to travel the most efficient path to the destination. This creates a multi-level backup system.
