Application Request : Unbound

Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.

It would reduce one more provider that we need to trust on a day-to-day basis. We can just host our own DNS service.

    Thank you for your suggestion to add Unbound to the Ultra.cc platform. We truly appreciate your interest in making the most of your slot and exploring ways to enhance privacy and security.

    However, DNS solutions like Unbound are not a good fit for our current service model. Ultra.cc is specifically optimized for media automation and personal content hosting.

    Running a DNS resolver effectively requires system-level network control, including DNS port binding, firewall adjustments, and often elevated permissions that are incompatible with our multi-tenant, containerized environment. Additionally, these services fall outside the scope of what we’re able to support or troubleshoot under our current platform focus.

    While we understand the value of DNS tools, we recommend running such services on a dedicated network device at home, or within a virtual private server (VPS) where you have full administrative control.
