| We don't recommend you run it from a home connection, unless you have a high bandwidth and **low latency connection** with no bandwidth caps. Low WAN latency is important for running a DNS server, because the server itself is in charge of lookups, and high latency (e.g. on a home connection) can slow down requests dramatically compared to a server hosted with a low-latency connection in a datacenter. This graphic is a vast oversimplification of the DNS process but demonstrates why hosting at home is rarely a good idea: | We don't recommend you run it from a home connection, unless you have a high bandwidth and **low latency connection** with no bandwidth caps.
