October 7, 2004 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — UltraDNS (ultradns.com), a provider of managed DNS services, announced on Wednesday that it is in the process of enhancing its network infrastructure, adding new levels of redundancy and security and providing top-level domain customers with improved service levels.

The new network design, scheduled to become operational in November, will deploy a dedicated network of name servers to support the company’s TLD customers. This separate infrastructure, the company said, will add additional redundancy and scalability, improving the experiences of end users querying TLDs residing on the UltraDNS global network. UltraDNS said both infrastructures support real-time updates of DNS changes, which the company introduced five years ago.
