DNS

Netquirk Limited runs authoritative DNS on a globally distributed network of name servers. You delegate a domain to it, write the records that domain needs, and the public internet gets its answers from Netquirk.

What it is

A zone you delegate to Netquirk is answered from Netquirk's own name servers rather than from a shared cache, so the records you set are the records the public internet sees. The same zone is served from a globally distributed network, so a query lands close to whoever asked for it.

The service serves the record types a zone normally needs:

A and AAAA — IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a name.
CNAME — an alias from one name to another.
MX — where mail for the domain is delivered.
NS — the name servers that answer for the zone.
TXT — free-form text, used for mail policy and domain verification.
SRV — which host and port answers for a given service.
CAA — which certificate authorities may issue for the domain.

Aliases and reverse zones are served from the same dashboard, so a delegated domain and the addresses behind it sit in one place.

What you get

DNSSEC signing per zone. Turn signing on and the dashboard shows the DS record to publish at your registrar. You are warned before a signature is about to expire.
An audit entry for every change. Each change records who made it, when, and the values before and after. The entries are searchable from the dashboard.
The same work over an API. Every action in the dashboard is also a REST endpoint, so changes can be made from a script or from your own tooling with a key you mint in the dashboard.
Your zones stay yours. Every zone, record and API key belongs to your account, so no other customer reads or writes it.

How to use it

Sign in at my.netquirk.com and open the DNS dashboard. The account you sign in to is the one you use for the rest of the network, so there is no separate sign-up form.
Create the zone for your domain and add the records it needs. The dashboard shows every record type the platform serves and lets you stage a batch of changes before you publish them.
Copy the name servers the zone page shows you and set the NS records at your registrar to match them. Queries start resolving as soon as the registrar publishes the change.
Check the answers from your own machine with a standard resolver tool such as dig or nslookup, querying the name server directly, for example dig netquirk.com A @<name-server>.

Pricing

DNS is provisioned through a Netquirk workspace, and the plan is picked inside the workspace once you are signed in. Every workspace gets the same authoritative DNS surface: the plan choice sets how far a workspace can grow, not which features it can use.

Sign in at my.netquirk.com to open a workspace. If a workspace does not fit your situation, such as a procurement review, a multi-tenant rollout or a regulated environment, open a ticket at support.netquirk.com and the operator will walk you through the available options.

The platform's own page on how to get access sets out the route in full.
