Bullet-proof DNS

DNS is an easily-attacked web-site component which can bring down your site and keep it out of commission for hours or days.

Now even boot-strap, home-based start-ups can get on the best DNS network in the world – the same as Amazon.com Advertising.com, Forbes.com, McAfee, ORACLE, ING Bank, Overstock.com, (click links to see press releases) and 11,000 other companies. Here I am offering several low-cost ($50 per month) start-up packages for entrepreneurs, small and even home-based businesses., who tend not to have or need tons of traffic to start.

This is meant as a low-cost, on-line business insurance policy / performance enhancer… with yours truly as a single point of contact for help in selecting the right package, customizing and upgrading your packages as you grow.

PLUS – your site will load up to 5 times faster, with no discrepancies like Server-Time Outs and “Server Not Found” Errors!

– – which means you’ll get traffic you would otherwise have missed as those users click off to another link in their search results! One purchase from one of those saved prospects can pay for your service, maybe more than one month’s billing.

Before getting into managed DNS, I had spent hundreds of hours online engaged in marketing and lead-generation, and owned a number of domains for my campaigns and various entrepreneurial, one-man (or “mom+pop”) home-based ventures. I’d also sold websites to small businesses, who merely needed an on-line presence at first, and then more functionality for lead-generation and requests for quotes or appointment-booking.

Having these sites up 100% of the time was worth something to me, and to each of my customers. Protecting against a competitor, perhaps in a single county or city, was often on their minds, and they were constantly attempting to out-maneuver the competition with their advertising, and sometimes engaged in bitter rivalries.

Nowadays it is hardly unheard-of for cyber-attacks to be conducted on a small scale, against individual businesses. Most often, small businesses use shared hosting which relies on a couple of name-servers to get to their content, shared often with thousands of other businesses. Attacks on any one of the domains on those servers can and do slow down (and left unattended, could shut down) thousands of sites.

There are certainly lots of things tech-savvy folks can do which can help protect their domain. But if the directions you find on technical blogs are beyond you, a consumer-level entrepreneur can’t do much to insure their domain is bulletproof, except by outsourcing to us.

And even if you *can* tweak the heck out of your name-server, you can’t get the kind of protection or performance that Ultra’s global network provides… It’s not just the DSN software issues that Ultra has eliminated, it’s their vast $50 Million+ network of hundreds of name-servers in 14 different, Quad GigE-piped, bomb-resistant buildings spread across 5 continents. With that kind of head-room, DDoS attacks can be essentially load-balanced across this vast network and still no more than *maybe* 12% of its capacity is used at any peak time.

So any of these packages are available for a flat $50 per month – and will accommodate many types of start-up home-based businesses, and then can scale and grow with the business very economically. I’m banking on your success, too! I want you to grow into bigger customers, making more money for yourselves and your investors, and paying me a little more as your traffic grows. Also, we’ll go out of our way to help you avoid overage costs by upgrading you to more cost-effective traffic tiers as you grow, effectively reducing the cost of leveraging our platform per 1000 queries (think Unique Visitors, to get a rough idea).

Set-up #1 might work for an e-commerce, info-product, a new social-networking site, or fairly high-traffic blog. It covers 3 domains (for example you if buy .com, .biz and .net or .info versions of your domain) and gives you up to 1 Million page views per month… (1 query or 1 unique visitor can yield an average of 10 page-views – this package is for 100,000 queries monthly). It also includes domain forwarding (so you can re-direct to your blog on a blogging service like Blogger or WordPress or wherever) and email forwarding with a *@mydomain.com email address for each domain… meaning that you can use info@ or sales@ or Bill@ and all email will re-direct to the single email address of your choice.

The rest are for entrepreneurs who want more domains for specific products, for off-line marketing tests (say you want to test different domains in classified ads) specific markets, etc.

Set-up # 2 might suit you if you have different products each with a different domain for 5 domains and 25 records or sub-domains, and don’t expect to go over 70,000 queries or up to 700,000 page views monthly.

Set-up #3 would be better if you had up to 15 domains, but were less concerned about total traffic among them. But it still gives you fully 50,000 queries or up to half a million page-views monthly.

Set-up #4 emphasizes easy management of up to 25 domains and re-directs, if you don’t expect a ton of traffic on any of them – That’s still up to 400,000 page views per month.

Depending on your business model and plans, you may never need more than one of these $50 monthly packages. Of course, if you’re a growing enterprise and already have more traffic, you’ll need a customized quote.
