In the rapidly evolving world of web hosting, ensuring that your website is secure and optimized for the best possible performance is critical. In line with its commitment to providing cutting-edge tools, Plesk now offers HTTPS DNS Record Support, a feature that improves both security and efficiency for web traffic.

What Are HTTPS DNS Records?

HTTPS DNS records are a new type of DNS resource record that allows browsers and other clients to retrieve information about the specific settings for secure HTTPS connections. These records include details such as supported cryptographic protocols and the server’s certificate chain, improving security by making HTTPS handshakes more efficient.

Key Benefits of HTTPS DNS Records:

  1. Improved Security: HTTPS records allow the client to validate the server’s credentials and establish a secure connection more efficiently, making it harder for malicious actors to tamper with the process.

  2. Reduced Latency: By bundling essential security information in the DNS lookup, HTTPS DNS records minimize the time it takes for the client to establish a secure connection, leading to faster load times and a better user experience.

  3. Increased Privacy: HTTPS records can include settings that help enhance the privacy of the connection by providing clear instructions on how the connection should be secured.

  4. Efficient Resource Management: The new records can streamline resource requests, leading to lower resource consumption and increased performance for web servers.
