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 Tier 2 servers.
- They are also available as slave servers for OpenNIC SponsoredTLDs.
- They are not appropriate for general public use.
