What Are Huawei Cloud DNS Servers?

DNS provides authoritative DNS servers for domain name resolution. The NS record set defines the addresses of authoritative DNS servers for the domain name.

You can refer to this FAQ for suggestions on and steps of setting DNS servers.

Huawei Cloud DNS Servers

DNS servers are deployed in multiple AZs around the world so that they can respond to queries for domain names at the lowest latency and support anycast in some regions.

The following are Huawei Cloud DNS servers:

  • ns1.huaweicloud-dns.eu
  • ns2.huaweicloud-dns.eu

After you create a public zone on the DNS console, an NS record set is automatically generated for this zone, and its value is the four DNS servers.

Suggestions on DNS Server Setting

Because the outbound bandwidth from the Chinese mainland is limited, network latency increases when end users access a network outside the Chinese mainland.

To reduce network latency, you can follow the suggestions below to set the NS record set for each public zone:

Use ns1.huaweicloud-dns.eu and ns2.huaweicloud-dns.eu.
