 .. and a reasonable Internet connection (bandwidth is not so important, but it should be stable and not too highly loaded), please consider donating your server to the server pool. It doesn't cost you more than a few hundred bytes per second traffic, but you help the NTP project to survive. Please [[https://www.ntppool.org/join.html|read the joining page on their website]] for more information.

 ..or if you know of another good timeserver near you, you should use that and not the NTP pool - you'll probably get better time and you'll use fewer network resources. If you know only one timeserver near you, you can of course use that and two from pool.ntp.org or so.

-Many servers are provided by volunteers, and almost all time servers are really file or mail or webservers which just happen to also run ntp (this is not the case at Vikings). So don't use more than four time servers in your configuration unless you have for some reason, and don't play tricks with burst or minpoll - all you will gain is extra load on the volunteer time servers.

 ====== Domain Name Resolver ======
-Vikings provides two publicly available, unfiltered name servers. They are mainly for customers/infrastructure/servers in our data center. However, they are accessible from all networks so you can use them on your device free of charge, but at your own risk.
