Methods and systems are described for differentiating user experience based on domain name system (DNS) queries. An experience differentiating DNS server may respond to user information in a DNS query to selectively deliver a different experience to the client based on the user information. The experience differentiating DNS server may determine a user information subpart of a DNS query and a domain name subpart of the DNS query. The experience differentiating DNS server may determine user supplemental address information based on the user information. The experience differentiating DNS server may determine a partial domain response based on the domain name subpart of the DNS query. The experience differentiating DNS server may determine a DNS response based on the partial domain response and the user supplemental address information. A portion of the DNS query may be encrypted, and the experience differentiating DNS server may decrypt a portion of the DNS query.
A method comprising:processing, by a domain name service (DNS) system, a received uniform resource identifier (URI) of a DNS query from a user device to obtain a first subpart indicative of a user of the user device;determining, based on the first subpart, supplemental information that is indicative of a service tier for the user and that is different from the URI and the DNS query;based on the service tier for the user and a second subpart of the URI, determining a destination address for a response to the DNS query;
An apparatus comprising:one or more processors;
One or more non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a computing device to:process a received uniform resource identifier (URI) of a domain name service (DNS) query from a user device to obtain a first subpart indicative of a user of the user device;determine, based on the first subpart, supplemental information that is indicative of a service tier for the user and that is different from the URI and the DNS query;based on the service tier for the user and a second subpart of the URI, determine a destination address for a response to the DNS query;
