There's no such thing as a quick DNS change.

  My startup NameTerrific can support instantaneous DNS updates in a geo-redundant Anycast infrastructure. As long as your TTL is sufficiently low (<300), the impact is quite limited as propagation time is negligible at NameTerrific. EDIT: Sorry guys. We got some issues with a gem after installing the recently updated ruby2.0.0p0. The unicorn workers were timing out. TerrificDNS is completely unaffected and the site is already running again.

    If and only if the site's end users and their software fully respects TTL. A lot don't, especially shitty mobile networks and web browsers.

    From my experience with DNS for a large site over the last years, a lot of ISPs do not respect your TTL and have their own TTL (often 24h).

      It's up now. Please see parent for explanation. Sorry!

      Hopefully the back-end is not running Ruby. ;-)

        The back-end is AWS Route53, it seems.
        • zhoutong 14y ago
          Well, we have already soft launched our own TerrificDNS Anycast and it has replaced the Route 53 solution. TerrificDNS platform is running on Redis + PowerDNS.

    You should probably put the same amount of effort into your web hosting infrastructure http://imgur.com/ok5lfml http://imgur.com/ok5lfml
