DNS hosting is needed to make sure that users can access websites, email, and other services on the Internet. DNS hosting connects domain names to IP addresses, so your users can get the services they need. It is also possible to add other ownership information and preferences to the domain name using the DNS.
SlickAlpha DNS hosting is faster, more reliable, and capable of handling high-traffic loads more efficiently and effectively. Our DNS is easy to customize and supports custom domains and subdomains, as well as other advanced features.
Using SlickAlpha DNS, you can easily import public DNS records from the web, and make automated entries for your mailspace subscriptions.
Domain verification helps us make sure that you own the domain name. Domain verification also helps verify that your DNS configuration is correct and that the DNS records resolve correctly.
SlickAlpha DNS is a free DNS hosting solution that allows you to host and manage your domain's DNS records. You can read our documentation on setting up SlickAlpha DNS, to learn more about how to configure your domain.
Presently, we support all widely used record types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX and SRV. We are working to support additional DNS record types.
When you add a domain name to your SlickAlpha account with SlickAlpha DNS turned on, our systems look up your public DNS records online.
To effectively use DNS imports, check for missing records after you import your DNS records, and then change your nameservers on your domain registrar's website, after importing your existing DNS records.
Email is crucial for business communications. Businesses require two email setups: one for receiving and responding to official email (also known as business email or webmail or custom email) and another for marketing and sending newsletters (also known as bulk mail or promotional email). Our business email solution gives you a secure and flexible way to send official business communications.
A storage pool is the amount of storage space that a mailspace can share between its mailboxes. You can limit the amount of storage space each mailbox can consume on a mailspace subscription. Storage pools can be scaled up instantly using mailspace add-ons.
We offer a business email solution that can be used solely for official business communications, and to communicate with your business prospects. Our service should not be used for "bulk"/marketing emails or be confused with "anonymous" email services.
Our Mailspaces are base subscriptions that allocate email storage and access to you on our cloud for your domain.
Mailboxes are individual email addresses (like name@domain.com) used for sending and receiving email, with storage allocated from it's mailspace. Each mailspace comes with a set of free mailboxes. You can increase the mailboxes available to your mailspace, by upgrading it or by using add-ons.
Aliases are email addresses that can forward email to your mailbox, but cannot send email or have email storage on their own.
All our business email solutions come with effective spam protections. Our anti-spam systems are highly accurate when it comes to detecting spam and junk emails, with a success rate of up to 99%. This means you can be sure that your inbox will remain free of any unwanted and potentially malicious emails.
To ensure that our network is available to all our patrons, we use sending limits and spam filters to filter out outgoing emails. However, our sending limits are rarely exceeded on everyday usage, which is tied to efficient usage rather than strict limits.
