Overview
Vercara, formerly Neustar Security Services, became part of DigiCert in September 2024. The portfolio has included authoritative DNS, DDoS/application protection and UltraEdge delivery.
The current website emphasizes UltraDNS. Its old UltraEdge product link redirects to DNS information, so confirm the CDN offering and support relationship before selecting it. Current UltraEdge availability remains unconfirmed.

UltraEdge product material describes JavaScript edge functions, image optimization, predictive prefetch and security options. Confirm that the offering is available for your project and ask which features the package includes.
For deployment, request the UltraEdge API documentation, supported protocols, purge workflow and request-log export options. Select DNS, website monitoring and security products separately where the project needs them.
Pricing
Confirm that UltraEdge can be ordered for your project, then request a delivery quote covering audience regions, traffic and requests. Add edge functions, image processing, security, DNS and support where needed.
Use the effective CDN delivery rates in the calculator and budget separately charged services as extras.
