New site providing a comprehensive set of free DNS tools to help optimize domain and DNS configurations and management.
STERLING, Va., Nov. 18, 2010 -- Neustar, Inc. (NYSE: NSR) today announced the launch of UltraTools.com, a new UltraDNS service within Neustar's Internet Infrastructure Services portfolio. UltraTools.com provides a free, comprehensive set of DNS tools to help DNS administrators, website managers, and domain owners analyze and optimize their domain and DNS configurations.
"Given the complexity of DNS in today's connected world, resolving name-resolution issues in a timely fashion is often an exercise of scrambling from one command-line tool to the next, and leveraging various online lookup interfaces to try to uncover the root cause of the problem," says Doug Toombs, Senior Analyst, Tier1 Research. He continues, "With a respected history in DNS management, Neustar has brought a valuable 'one-stop' toolset to the market with UltraTools."
UltraTools.com offers a Domain Health Report that includes over 70 individual tests spanning nine key categories, each providing a unique sub-report, that further evaluate the health of a domain. Specifically, the report includes Parent Zone, Nameserver, Start of Authority, MX Record, Mail Server, Web Server, Domain Record, DNSSEC, and IPv6 sub-reports. The Domain Health Report is an essential tool that makes it easy for DNS administrators to detect changes they may need to make regardless of their level of technical expertise.
UltraTools.com also offers a robust collection of individual utilities, calculators, and DNS & IP lookup tools. This collection includes DNS, Email, IPv6, Tracing, Website, WHOIS, and other informational tools--all developed to help users manage their day-to-day tasks from a single, external website without having to go to a command-line prompt. In the coming months Ultratools will also include domain 'Monitoring' tools. This set of tools will provide users with critical alerts about their domains.
"Gone are the days of paying for tools like the ones we offer through UltraTools.com and staffing against a requirement for significant, and dedicated, DNS expertise. UtlraTools helps fill the gap in the industry for free, easy-to-use DNS tools. Whether you're an expert or a novice, you can use these tools and get the job done," says Mark Sitko, Vice President of Product Management for Neustar.
Ultimately, providing free domain tools to DNS administrators, website managers, and domain owners alike will help streamline day-to-day tasks associated with their DNS and domain configurations. It is important to note that UltraTools are operated outside of Neustar's network so users will get neutral, unbiased test results across the board for all domains, including those managed by UltraDNS.
