A domain name is online only if its DNS services work properly. If these services fail or are not properly set, the domain name will not be available.

The Premium DNS service can be activated for domain names regardless of the registrar. You can purchase and use the service of Top.Host, even if you do not have your domain name registered with us.

There are no restrictions regarding the extension of the domain name that you have registered. The Premium DNS plan supports all possible TLDs.

Once the plan is activated, you will receive an email with the login information to your Premium DNS account. You can manage the services of your plan through your hosting panel.

The activation period depends on the payment method you choose. The login information is sent automatically if you pay by credit card or PayPal. In case of payment through bank deposit, the plan is activated once the payment is confirmed by our Accounting Department.

The supported records that you can manage through the panel of DNS hosting are:

• NS - Informs about the nameservers of the hosting plan where a domain name is hosted.
• Α - Assigns the domain name to a 32bit IPv4 IP address.
• AAAA - Assigns the domain name to a 128bit IPv6 IP address.
• CNAME - Determines if a domain name is an alias of another domain name. It is also used for creating subdomains.
• MX - Identifies the mailserver used by a domain name.
• PTR - Performs the inverse operation of the A and AAAA records, assigning the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to domain names.
• TXT - Its main use is to avoid sending emails that appear to be sent by the owner of the domain name, without this actually happening./li>
• SRV - Identifies specific services provided by the domain name, such as FTP.

Each PremiumDNS hosting plan can be activated for one domain name or subdomain.

To complete the propagation to all Internet Service Providers, a period of 4-48 hours is required.

The Premium DNS hosting plan of Top.Host can be used in the following circumstances:

• If you use any online service that does not provide DNS (e.g. a blog on blogger or a Google Apps account) and you want to connect it with your domain name.
  For example, the services of Premium DNS enable your blog in Blogger to open with your own domain name, instead of opening with the subdomain provided by Blogger.
• If you use a local server for hosting your site instead of a server of a hosting provider, the DNS plan will give you the opportunity to host the name you have registered on your own server.
