PowerDNS Authoritative Server serves DNS queries for domain records by answering requests about their existence and providing respective stored information. It scales to millions of domains per server and is therefore the default choice for very large-scale hosting deployments. On top of this, PowerDNS Authoritative Server includes additional services and features. For example, automated reporting and real-time stats let you keep track of latest trends and geographical load balancing in order to send visitors to the closest servers. Traffic is distributed across all regions at the same time.

It provides customers with easy-to-use ‘one click signing’ capabilities and comes with support for all major databases, including but not limited to, LMDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, LDAP and plain text files.

ZoneControl is our graphical web-based interface for managing domains on the authoritative server.
