Automatic Recovery

How DNS Failover Protects You

Our monitoring probes check your servers from multiple locations worldwide. The moment a failure is confirmed, DNS records update automatically to redirect traffic to healthy backup endpoints.

Continuous Monitoring

Health checks run every 30 seconds from multiple geographic vantage points to detect outages rapidly and eliminate false positives.

Failure Detection

Multi-location consensus prevents false alarms. An outage is only confirmed when multiple probes across different regions agree your server is unreachable.

Instant Switchover

DNS records are updated globally within seconds, redirecting all incoming traffic to your pre-configured backup servers seamlessly.

Auto Recovery

Once the primary server is healthy again, traffic automatically shifts back. Manual recovery options are also available for controlled failback.

Monitoring

Advanced Health Check Options

HTTP/HTTPS Checks

Monitor web applications by checking HTTP response codes, verifying SSL certificates, matching content strings, and measuring page load performance.

TCP Port Monitoring

Verify that critical services are accepting connections on specific ports. Monitor databases, mail servers, FTP services, and custom applications running on any port.

ICMP Ping Checks

Simple but effective network-layer monitoring. Detect server crashes, network partitions, and routing failures that prevent any traffic from reaching your infrastructure.

DNS Query Monitoring

Verify your authoritative nameservers respond correctly by running real DNS queries and validating the returned records match expected values.

SMTP Monitoring

Ensure your mail servers are online and responsive. Check SMTP connectivity, banner responses, and TLS negotiation to prevent email service interruptions.

Content Verification

Go beyond availability checks. Verify that server responses contain expected content strings to catch application errors, defacements, or partial service failures.

Alerting
