The .tv Corporation, a leading provider of Web identity services worldwide and the exclusive source for Web addresses ending in .tv, has added the Managed DNS Service to its current robust infrastructure. Managed DNS Service is a complete, fully integrated outsourced DNS solution, powered by UltraDNS' global network of full fail-over servers.
