Available in Classic and VPC
Global DNS is a service that helps identify domain names used on the internet as actual access addresses. By providing Domain Name System (DNS) servers in a cloud-based form that are difficult for individuals to operate directly, Global DNS enables you to manage the domains required for service operations easily and conveniently.
Global DNS features
Global DNS offers these key features:
- Optimized global routing: You can receive fast responses from the nearest name server through a global network.
- Support for aliases: You can use a feature that directs a specific domain name to another domain name. Although similar to a Canonical Name Record (CNAME), an alias can also be mapped to a root domain, addressing the limitations of CNAME records.
- Simple migration: You can easily migrate to Global DNS on the NAVER Cloud Platform by registering only a zone file.
- Request statistics by domain: You can view statistics on requests (queries) for each active domain to support service operations.

Q. What are the benefits of using Global DNS?
A DNS servers are difficult for individuals to operate directly. With Global DNS on the NAVER Cloud Platform, DNS servers are provided in a cloud-based form, enabling easy domain management. In addition, the capacity, performance, and stability of DNS servers are ensured, reducing the need for intensive server management.
Furthermore, because infrastructure is deployed across global Regions, you can connect to the nearest name server anywhere in the world and receive fast responses.
Q. Can I purchase or register domains through Global DNS?
A Global DNS on the NAVER Cloud Platform does not support proxy services for domain name registration or renewal. To purchase or register a domain name, use a registrar such as Gabia, iNames, or Dotname Korea.
Q. How do I use Global DNS after registering a domain?
A Access the NAVER Cloud Platform console, click 
> Services > Networking > Global DNS, and then add the domain information registered with the registrar. Then, check the name server information provided by Global DNS and enter it with the domain registrar.
Q. How do I use DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions)?
A Change the DNSSEC status of the added domain to On, and then enter the newly created DS record with the domain registrar. For details, see Change DNSSEC status.
