Professional DNS Hosting
Authoritative DNS Servers Hosted In Australian Data Centres
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates easy-to-remember domain names, such as telnetworks.com.au, into the technical addresses that computers use to locate websites, mail servers and other online services.
Your DNS configuration plays a critical role in keeping your online services available.
Telnetworks provides hosted DNS and authoritative name servers so your domain records can be managed and served reliably, without requiring you to maintain your own DNS servers.
See our web article on the difference between Authoritative and Recursive DNS Servers.
Telnetworks also hosts our public Recursive DNS Servers.

DNS is more than just your website address.
Correct DNS configuration helps keep services such as email, websites, cloud platforms, verification services and other applications working correctly.
DNS Servers need to maintain 100% online time.
Additionally, correct DNS configuration is a vital scope in the integration of Cyber Security.
Use our DNS Configuration Check Tool to see the current status of your DNS.
What Is DNS Hosting?
DNS hosting is the service that stores and serves the DNS records associated with your domain.
For example, when someone enters yourbusiness.com.au into their browser, DNS helps determine which server should receive the request.
DNS records can also control where email is delivered, verify domain ownership and connect your domain to a variety of third-party services.
Telnetworks provides hosted authoritative DNS and name servers, allowing you to manage your domain’s DNS configuration without having to operate your own DNS infrastructure.
DNS Hosting for Websites, Email & Online Services
DNS is used by virtually every internet-facing service.
Website DNS
Point your domain or subdomains to your website hosting provider using A, AAAA or CNAME records.
Business Email DNS
Configure MX and other DNS records required by your email provider, including services such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Domain Verification
Use TXT and other DNS records to verify your domain with third-party platforms and online services.
Subdomain Management
Create DNS records for subdomains used by websites, applications, portals, online stores and other services.
SSL & Security Configuration
Manage DNS records used by certificate providers and other security services, including CAA records where required.
Managed DNS Hosting for Businesses
Managing DNS can become more complicated as your business grows.
You may have multiple domains, websites, email platforms, cloud services, applications and third-party providers that all require DNS configuration.
Telnetworks provides DNS hosting that can help centralise your domain DNS requirements while reducing the need to operate your own DNS infrastructure.
Our DNS hosting is suitable for:
- Australian Businesses
- Small and medium businesses
- Corporations and organisations
- Web developers and digital agencies
- IT consultants (Resellers)
- Managed service providers (Whitelabelled)
- Businesses managing multiple domains
- Organisations using multiple hosting providers
DNS Hosting for Multiple Domains
Managing DNS across multiple domains can quickly become difficult when each domain is configured through different providers.
Centralising your DNS hosting can make it easier to maintain consistent configurations and manage changes across your domain portfolio.
Telnetworks DNS hosting can provide a single DNS hosting solution for businesses managing multiple domains and online services.
DNS Hosting Without Web Hosting
You don’t need to move your website to Telnetworks to use our DNS hosting.
Your domain can use Telnetworks authoritative name servers while your:
- Website is hosted elsewhere
- Email is hosted with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Applications run in the cloud
- Services are hosted on your own infrastructure
- Other domains use different hosting providers
This separation provides flexibility and allows you to choose the best provider for each part of your online infrastructure.
Why Use Professional DNS Hosting?
Running your own authoritative DNS infrastructure requires servers, software, configuration, maintenance and monitoring.
For many businesses, hosted DNS provides a simpler alternative.
With professional DNS hosting, you can:
- Reduce DNS infrastructure requirements
- Avoid maintaining your own authoritative DNS servers
- Simplify domain management
- Centralise DNS records
- Keep DNS independent of your website hosting
- Make it easier to change hosting providers

Frequently Asked Questions
About DNS Hosting
What is DNS hosting?
DNS hosting is a service that stores and provides the DNS records associated with your domain. These records tell internet-connected devices where to find your website, email servers and other online services.
What is Name Server hosting?
Name server hosting provides the authoritative DNS servers responsible for answering DNS queries for your domain. Telnetworks can host the authoritative DNS infrastructure for your domains.
Can I use Telnetworks DNS hosting if my website is hosted elsewhere?
Yes. Your DNS hosting provider and website hosting provider can be different companies. You can use Telnetworks for authoritative DNS while your website is hosted with another provider.
Can I use DNS hosting for business email?
Yes. DNS records are essential for email delivery and email authentication. DNS hosting can be used to configure MX, TXT, CNAME and other records required by your email provider.
What DNS records can I configure?
DNS configurations commonly include A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV and CAA records. The records required will depend on the services connected to your domain.
Do I need my own DNS server?
No. Using hosted DNS means you don’t need to operate your own authoritative DNS servers. Your DNS provider operates the infrastructure used to answer DNS queries for your domain.
