Where it runs today

Solid pins are servers in service and dashed pins are planned. Status, latency and uptime come from probes that check each public endpoint every 15 seconds.

VoltaEdge: the network underneath

Two UK nameservers hold our zones today, ready to take over from our current DNS provider. A CDN and a web application firewall come next.

Nameservers: dns1 in London, dns2 in Manchester
Zone signing: DNSSEC-signed zones
Edge sites planned: London, Manchester and Birmingham

What comes next

The network grows in steps. This is the order we are building it in.

Now, live
- VoltaDNS filtering resolver in London
- Authoritative nameservers in London and Manchester
- A second resolver in Portsmouth, answering alongside London
Next
- GeoDNS: each device uses the nearest healthy resolver
- Our own nameservers take over voltacloud.co.uk and voltaservices.uk, signed with DNSSEC
- IPv6 on every node, and DNS over HTTPS on HTTP/3
Later

- Caching, TLS and a web application firewall at each edge
Further out
- Our own AS number and IP space
- Anycast routing over BGP in place of GeoDNS
