DNSTrouble was built by the Switchlink team about 4 years ago as an inhouse project to help check our own DNS needs, however we released it 3 years ago to the world to use as a completely free tool (unlike all those other DNS sites!!). We’ve recently re-released the site and all the tools have been rewritten to be faster and more accurate.

Head over to dnstrouble.com to get help on any DNS problems you might have.

So now, using your VPS for web hosting is now even simpler.

It is not anticipated that this work will be service-affecting, however, as we are performing work on core routing infrastructure you should consider the service ‘at risk’ during the window above.

If any unexpected issues are observed, the changes will be immediately rolled-back.
