Network Solutions DNS Outage

If you’re landing on this page because you suspect a Network Solutions DNS outage today, you might be right. Probably best to check their official Twitter account to be sure. As soon as we have confirmation, we’ll post a note here.

Sadly, the folks at Network Solutions have had a few DNS outages already in 2021 (and in prior years). Below are a few tweets we’ve seen this year.

The other sad thing is that unlike any other DNS provider out there, Network Solutions refuses to work with other providers supporting Secondary DNS to increase DNS redundancy. We’re not sure why that is. If you really love them but just want to boost DNS redundancy, Secondary DNS can help. But it’s not an option with netsol.

If your organization is looking to increase DNS redundancy (note: uptime is our specialty) then we can help. Maybe it’s about time you moved your DNS to a reliable DNS provider?

It's time for reliable DNS, right?

We really don’t like seeing any of our competitors […]

Can Too Much Redundancy Impact Availability?

After unabashedly extolling the virtues of redundancy in a recent article , you may be wondering why we would follow up with another post questioning whether sometimes too much (redundancy) was just too much. Credit fellow staffers for the suggestion that we revisit the issue. The problem was clearly a part of our initial research, and it deserves […]

Redundancy: When Too Much is Just Right

Redundancy is indispensable in the world of information technology. Of course, redundancy is not welcome in every aspect of life. If your company doesn’t need you anymore and makes you “redundant”, you’ll have to look for another job. Poorly written text may be credited to the Department of Redundancy Department.
