Centralized solution for managing, configuring, and monitoring authoritative DNS services.

Service providers running BIND-based authoritative DNS servers commonly use home-grown or open-source tools to manage their DNS zone data. This approach is prone to manual mistakes, leaving the door open to configuration errors that prevent websites' access and cause email routing to fail.

FL NameSurfer is a robust DNS management solution designed for telecom companies and managed service providers managing tens or even hundreds of thousands of zones in their authoritative DNS. Run by 35% of the world's Top-20 telecom companies, NameSurfer comes with many process automations and intuitive automations for authoritative DNS.

By deploying NameSurfer as part of their authoritative DNS infrastructure, customers can automate their DNS zone management processes and centrally monitor and manage the configurations of integrated DNS server instances. This automation and centralization add up to six-figure Operational Expense savings on an annual basis.
