Tier 1 server information and FAQs.
What is a "Tier 1" Server?
Tier 1 servers are the core DNS servers that host the actual authoritative zones for all OpenNIC TLDs and the root ('.
') zone. For all zones in OpenNIC's aggregate root, these hosts, in accordance with the OpenNIC DNS Specification, provide authoritative response or referral to non-recursive queries from other domain name servers, such as the Tier2 servers.
- They are also available as slave servers for OpenNIC SponsoredTLDs.
- They are not appropriate for general public use.
