At Hipposerve, we like to do things a little differently. Sure, we could’ve called our new server something generic like “server54.hipposerve.net” and left it at that—but where’s the magic in that?
Instead, we’re delighted to introduce Ron Weasley, the latest magical addition to our growing team of nameservers, all lovingly named after witches and wizards from fiction (we’re still waiting for someone to find a real wizard, but no luck yet—unless you count that guy in IT who can fix anything with a reboot).
You might not see them, but nameservers are the unsung heroes of the internet. Think of them as the sorting hats of the web—they take your request for a website (like hipposerve.com) and magically direct it to the right place on the right server. Without them, you’d be stuck typing long IP addresses into your browser (and who wants to remember 192.0.2.42 instead of just typing “hipposerve.com”?)
So whenever you visit a website, send an email, or ping a server, a nameserver is working behind the scenes like a digital postmaster, routing your request faster than a Firebolt broomstick.
Adding Ron Weasley to our infrastructure isn’t just a tribute to one of the most loyal wizards in literary history—it’s a strategic move to boost our robustness and reliability. By expanding our nameserver network, we’re:
🌍 Increasing redundancy – If one server’s under a Confundus Charm (or just down for maintenance), others can take over.
⚡ Improving response times – Your domain name gets resolved faster, wherever in the world you are.
🧠 Distributing load smarter – Keeping things smooth, even when traffic spikes like a Hippogriff on espresso.
It’s all part of our commitment to building a stronger, more magical internet experience for our customers.

The articles you’ll find here are part of Hipposerve’s growing archive, and some go back a little way. That means you may occasionally spot references to products we no longer offer, pricing that has since changed, or technologies and advice that reflected best practice at the time of writing but may not fully align with current thinking. We always aim to keep things accurate, but the web moves fast.
For the latest information on our services, features, pricing, and offers, please check the main pages of our website. And just to keep things clear — we’re unable to honour any prices or promotions mentioned in older blog posts. Thanks for reading, and happy browsing!
