To further improve the stability, redundancy, and performance of our DNS network, we have deployed an additional nameserver in Finland hosted by Hetzner. This step is part of the ongoing development of the dnsys DNS network, which now provides a distributed infrastructure across multiple locations.
Benefits of the New Location
Geographic diversity: With the new site in Finland, our infrastructure is spread more evenly across Europe, reducing dependency on single regions.
Lower latency: Users in Northern Europe benefit from faster DNS response times, as queries can now be answered locally.
Additional redundancy: The new server complements existing locations and increases the overall reliability of the network.
Hetzner infrastructure: Hetzner provides reliable hardware, stable network peering, and cost-efficient connectivity, ideal for 24/7 DNS operation.
Relevance for the tux.re Forum
The tux.re forum now also leverages the dnsys network through the new Finnish server. This brings:
Faster DNS resolution in Scandinavia and Northern Europe
Higher security thanks to distributed DNS infrastructure
Improved stability even in case of regional outages
Outlook
With this step, dnsys continues the steady expansion of its DNS network. Additional locations are planned to increase global reach and ensure that services like the tux.re forum are optimally supported.
