We are excited to launch OnlyDNS — a dedicated, carrier-grade authoritative Anycast DNS platform operated by Quantum Names. Built on 26 years of continuous DNS operations, we provide ultra-reliable DNS without cloud bloat, complexity, or upsells.
Today, October 1, 2026, marks the official launch of OnlyDNS (www.onlydns.com). While the name is fresh, our team, our operational track record, and our dedication to rock-solid infrastructure are anything but new.
OnlyDNS is the culmination of more than two and a half decades of building, operating, and scaling mission-critical internet systems. Operating as a pure-play DNS platform under our parent company Quantum Names, OnlyDNS is engineered for modern developers, autonomous AI agents, systems architects, and businesses who want fast, globally resilient Anycast DNS without navigating hyperscaler cloud consoles or enduring legacy registrar upsells.
Our Heritage: 26 Years of Omnis Network
For 26 continuous years—from 2000 through 2026—our founding team built and operated Omnis Network. During that era, Omnis Network grew into a pioneering web hosting, domain registrar, and DNS provider that served more than 100,000 customers globally, handling billions of monthly DNS queries with sustained 99.99999% uptime.
When the shared web hosting operations of Omnis Network were acquired by JetHost, our core engineering and operations team made an intentional, strategic decision: rather than dispersing, we remained together to spin off our DNS and domain name infrastructure into an independent, focused venture. We formed Quantum Names as our parent company and launched OnlyDNS as our flagship authoritative DNS platform.
Why Separate from Shared Web Hosting?
Shared web hosting and authoritative DNS are fundamentally different disciplines. Shared web hosting involves resource contention, multi-tenant application stacks, web server updates, and support for thousands of disparate CMS plugins.
Authoritative DNS, by contrast, is the foundational routing layer of the entire internet. It demands absolute architectural simplicity, deterministic performance, hardened BGP Anycast routing, and rapid propagation. By shedding shared web hosting baggage, we engineered OnlyDNS purely for DNS speed, security, and global resilience.
What's Broken with Today's DNS Ecosystem
When we surveyed the DNS landscape in 2026, we saw two extremes that frustrate engineers and domain owners alike:
Big cloud providers (AWS Route 53, Azure DNS, Google Cloud DNS) bury simple zone management behind complex IAM policy matrices, hundred-page permission hierarchies, and multi-layered web consoles. Furthermore, they view DNS as a loss-leader hook designed to pull you into their expensive compute, storage, and database ecosystems.
Traditional registrars spam customers with intrusive checkout popups, deceptive renewal add-ons, bundled website builders, and sluggish control panels. Their DNS infrastructure is frequently treated as an afterthought, relying on fragile unicast or legacy setups without modern automation.
We built OnlyDNS on a radically simpler principle: Domain Names and DNS is the only thing we do. We do not sell web hosting, email boxes, or website builders. We don't employ aggressive sales tactics or dark patterns.
The OnlyDNS Platform: Modern Power Without the Friction
OnlyDNS delivers carrier-grade infrastructure paired with developer-first tooling and an intuitive web interface:
23-Node Global Anycast Network
Strategic edge nodes across 6 continental regions (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia Pacific) connected to major transit carriers and regional Internet Exchange Points. Each node runs its own BGP routing to prevent queries from reaching offline nodes.
Rapid Edge Propagation
Record changes, additions, and updates propagate worldwide typically between 0.2 and 5 seconds. Say goodbye to waiting hours for DNS updates to take effect.
RFC 2136 TSIG Dynamic DNS
Native support for cryptographic RFC 2136 dynamic updates with HMAC-SHA256 TSIG authentication. Issue wildcard SSL/TLS certificates effortlessly using Certbot, acme.sh, Caddy, Traefik, cert-manager, or Lego.
AI Agents & Model Context Protocol
Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support, comprehensive REST APIs, Python/TypeScript SDKs, and a powerful CLI tool (npm i -g @onlydns/cli) for autonomous agent ingress and CI/CD pipelines.
1-Click Automated DNSSEC
Cryptographic zone protection using modern ECDSA (Algorithm 13). Zone Signing Keys (ZSK) are rotated automatically with zero downtime, protecting against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning.
Free Defensive Domain Parking
Point inactive names to parking.onlydns.com and parking.onlydns.us for 100% free parking with RFC 7505 Null MX, SPF -all, strict DMARC, and clean landing pages with no paid advertising.
Getting Started with OnlyDNS
Migrating your domains or creating a new zone takes less than two minutes:
- Create Your Account: Sign in at portal.onlydns.com.
- Import or Add Zones: Use our 1-click Smart DNS Auto-Discovery scanner, upload standard BIND zone files, or use the CLI (
onlydns zone import example.com zone.txt). - Update Nameservers: Point your domain delegation to
ns1.onlydns.comandns2.onlydns.us.
