Beyond the Catalogue

Each hosting or service package is a bundle — DNS, SSL, backups, monitoring, automation, and more. The catalogue shows what’s most common, but the scope of what we can do is far broader.

If you only need one element, or if your project doesn’t quite fit the packages listed, just ask. Practical limits apply — not catalogue limits.

Overview

Blue Canoe DNS is a globally anycast, high-uptime authoritative service. Our footprint includes UK nodes plus Africa, USA, China, Mainland Europe, and Australia, with plans to add additional nodes in South America and the Middle East - for low-latency resolution worldwide. We support DNSSEC and all common record types (A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT for SPF/DKIM, SRV, CAA). Keeping DNS separate from hosting makes migrations painless and improves your security posture.

This service is included by default with all managed hosting packages, but can also be purchased standalone. Start with a single domain and scale to dozens; pricing is simple per-domain annual billing.

A typical setup starts with an import of existing records, enabling DNSSEC, switching nameservers, and monitoring — most changes propagate within minutes.
