A free program for ccTLDs

About NetActuate

NetActuate operates the second largest global network in the world by number of peers. We have been a proponent of open source technology and the open internet for decades. As part of this effort, we are pleased to announce a free ccTLD program.

Program & Eligibility

We are offering free Anycast DNS services to emerging ccTLDs with under 100,000 primary zones. We believe that no matter how big a country is, their domain should have the benefits of world-class reliability, security, and performance. We will slave your entire zone file and Anycast it from our global network free of charge.
