This recommendation suprises me. Do you have particular reason to recommend them? $50 per month for DNS strikes me as ludicrous, but I suppose it's worth it for some sites if they truly can provide a more reliable service.
But I don't find the quotes on their website to be confidence inspiring: "UltraDNS manages and maintains its own industry leading resolver platform; as a non-open source platform it isn't prone to hijacking, spoofing or viruses".
And their industry positioning scares me:
The revised bill would place a ".kids" subdomain under the
control of NeuStar Inc., the Washington-based
telecommunications company that won the contract to manage
the ".us" country-code domain last fall.
NeuStar would be expected to police the subdomain to ensure
it remains free of inappropriate content, and it would
answer to the Commerce Department's National
Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Web sites in the domain would be prohibited from linking to
sites outside it, and they could not set up chat rooms,
instant messaging or other interactive services unless they
could certify that they did not expose children to
pedophiles or pose other risks.
If privately held NeuStar were to lose money on the
venture, it could give control back to the Commerce
Department, which would seek another operator.
ps. You're probably aware, but I was checking if the site listed in your profile was served by them, and noticed that many9s.com looks to have expired over the weekend.
