    How does Authoritative DNS work?

    Browsers or devices ask DNS servers for the server that maps to a domain name. Authoritative DNS answers the request with either the IP address of the intended server, or another domain name. Reinforced by multiple redundancies and failovers, Authoritative DNS makes sure your website is reachable around the clock and that your applications perform to the best of their ability.
