DNS for retail and
e-commerce business

Eliminate downtime to safeguard your brand.

Keep your site secure and your customers safe

Outages can cost large retailers $5,600–$8,600 per minute—and even brief disruptions take a toll. DNS resilience—through independent control, multi-cloud readiness, automation, and visibility—helps keep your business running.

Prevent outages from turning into lost sales and public brand damage.

Keep every storefront, checkout, and app running—no matter the traffic or threat.

Maximize revenue and reliability

 

Maximize revenue capture

Every millisecond of latency and every second of downtime correlates directly to abandoned carts and lost sales.

DigiCert UltraDNS offers a 100% Availability SLA with a global IP anycast network. For a retailer, this means your storefront is reachable during high-traffic peaks like Black Friday, while also routing users to the nearest node for faster page loads.

Increase customer trust

Retailers are prime targets for cyberattacks that can hijack customer traffic or leak sensitive data.

Our platform includes built-in DDoS protection and DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing. This ensures your DNS remains stable and allows customers to reach your genuine website and not a "look-alike" phishing site.

Global scaling and traffic management

For worldwide retail brands, managing how global traffic hits servers becomes a strategic necessity.

UltraDNS enables geolocation-based routing to optimize the shopping experience with region-specific pricing and inventory, while intelligently load-balancing traffic on CDNs.

Improve efficiency and compliance

Automation reduces the risk of human error in critical infrastructure while freeing up resources.

Through DigiCert CertCentral, UltraDNS automates validation for TLS/SSL certificates, ensuring security certificates never expire to avoid "Your connection is not private" browser warnings.
