Why Bolt-DNS is Fast

Bolt-DNS is built for hosting cloud-based applications. Bolt-DNS uses a proven technology called Anycasting. Anycasting is a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) that makes sure you always talk to the nearest Bolt-DNS server. Our Bolt-DNS servers are located in data centers all over the world and close to your home. When a customer types in your web address from their home workplace, that customer will reach our nearest Bolt-DNS point of presence - the nearest data center to your home. In effect, this makes any application hosted with CloudAccess.net faster. Additionally, CloudAccess.net manages thousands of domains and owns its own IP addresses. We have special relationships with remote data centers that route our IP addresses. These remote data centers work at the BGP level and accept our Anycasting DNS Network. We route DNS faster and better than any other DNS provider online. Each Bolt-DNS network is specially built to serve DNS.
