Ulevitch"s technology career started at an early age when he began working for ElectriCiti, a small regional Internet service provider. In high school, he worked for a year at MP3.com. While a student at Washington University, Ulevitch created EveryDNS to fill his need for web-based Domain Name System management software. EveryDNS grew from a personal project to a service with nearly 100,000 users worldwide within a few years.
In January, 2010, EveryDNS was acquired by Manchester, New Hampshire company, Dyn, Incorporated.
In July, 2006, Ulevitch launched OpenDNS, a recursive Domain Name System service focused on performance and security. On June 30, 2015 Cisco announced that it was buying OpenDNS for $635 million.
Ulevitch was also in part responsible for the creation and operations of the California Community Colocation Project, which provided free colocation services to over 130 non-profits and after merging with the Online Policy Group successfully sued Diebold Election Systems in the Federal Court case OPG v. Diebold. Ulevitch is active in the startup community, speaking regularly at events and serving as a mentor to other entrepreneurs at I/o Ventures.
