NameEngine and UltraDNS Partner to Offer Domain Registration and Managed DNS Services to Business Clients

Customers of Both Companies Can Now Enjoy One-Stop, Comprehensive Domain Naming and DNS Services

San Mateo, Calif. March 21, 2001 - UltraDNS(tm) Corporation, a managed directory services company that offers the industry's first SLA (Service Level Agreement)-guaranteed Managed Domain Name Service (DNS), announced today a joint marketing alliance with NameEngine(tm) Inc., an ICANN-certified full-service domain registrar that provides professional domain name management solutions that include complete international domain name registration, multilingual top-level domain name searching, negotiated acquisition, renewal, and monitoring. The alliance delivers UltraDNS' Managed DNS Service to NameEngine customers, and gives UltraDNS customers one-click access to NameEngine's domain name registration, monitoring, and management capabilities.

"Our partnership with NameEngine provides both companies with complementary strategic capabilities that significantly improve the total service package we can offer to our mutual customers," said Ben Petro, chief marketing officer, UltraDNS Corporation. "By combining NameEngine's expert domain name registration and management capabilities with our carrier-class Managed DNS Service, we now offer an enhanced set of DNS-related products and services for Web business activities - virtually a one-stop-shopping experience for our respective corporate customer bases."

Antony Van Couvering, President of NameEngine, said, "This alliance continues our practice of continuously upgrading our offerings, in order to provide our customers with the highest level of domain name services available anywhere. UltraDNS provides speed and reliability of DNS query resolution that's key to our customers who have a significant Web presence. NameEngine's relationship with UltraDNS will save our customers time and money, provide them with guaranteed DNS performance, and enhance NameEngine's proactive global domain name management solutions."

Under the agreement, UltraDNS will provide NameEngine with carrier-class primary and secondary DNS hosting across its global network of peer-to-peer DNS servers. This includes UltraDNS' full fail-over capabilities to protect customers against DNS resolution failure, as well as its unique replication technology, which propagates DNS moves, adds, and changes across its global network in under 5 minutes, compared to the 12 - 24 hours it takes to make the same changes through traditional ISPs and registrars. The result is the best possible online experience, allowing users to receive the fastest, freshest content possible. Added to NameEngine's domain name management solutions and intellectual property protection services, the combined benefits of both company's solutions result in a robust new level of online performance and reliability for business customers.

"As DNS traffic swells, there is a tremendous need for highly available, manageable, scalable, and high performing global directory infrastructures," said Petro. "UltraDNS and NameEngine's alliance offers our customers just that."
