NIC Chile informs that a new dedicated server to provide DNS service for .CL domain names has began its operations. Located in Copenhagen, it will join an anycast cloud, under direct control of NIC Chile.

In this way, the network of servers for .CL which NIC Chile manages directly, is now present in 3 regions outside of Chile: Europe (Czech Republic and Denmark); North America (USA) and South America (Brasil); in addition to 7 nodes distributed in 3 cities of Chile, that cover almost all the domestic internet service providers (ISP).

Additional DNS service for .CL is provided by agreements and contracts with prestigious external organizations, such as ISC and NETNOD (Autonomica).

With the launching of operations of this new nameserver, NIC Chile continues improving the robustness and response time of the network of servers that resolve domain names for .CL worldwide.

About NIC Chile

Domain names allow persons, businesses and institutions to be identified in Internet.

NIC Chile is the organization in charge of managing the domain name registry for .CL, the identifier that corresponds to Chile, and is responsible for operating the technology that makes those identifiers function in an efficient and secure way.

After two decades on duty, with more than 280 thousand domains registered, Chile is one of the countries with the highest presence of its national domain, compared with generic ones, such as .com.

NIC Chile is a service provided to the community by the Department of Computer Science of the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences of the Universidad de Chile.
