Dyn began in 1998 as a free service running out of a college apartment at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It was called DynDNS and offered users a [[DNS]] service capable of hosting a website from a home computer. As the business continued to grow, it shifted from a free model to a donation-based model, which enabled them to make $40,000 in weeks, from users around the world.<ref>[http://www.hippopress.com/read-article/living-the-digital-dream Living the Digital Dream: How a local tech company found international success and a possible recipe for NH's future].

Thus, they further catered their services to the corporate market, reassessed their financial requirements, and began to offer more unique options for [[DNS]] solutions.<ref>[http://dyn.com/why-dyn/about-us About Us].

As the business continued to grow, it shifted from a free model to a donation-based model, which enabled them to make $40,000 in weeks, from users around the world.

The donation based model continued until a premium service called the DynECT Platform became available in 2008. The DynECT Platform offered advanced DNS related services to customers including but not limited to: Round Robin Load Balancing, CDN Management, Traffic Management, and Active Failover. The service was mainly geared toward enterprise-level consumers.

They began outsourcing to the market in 2007. In 2010, the company purchased three companies -– SendLabs,<ref>[http://www.nhbr.com/businessnewsstatenews/905237-257/dyn-inc.-acquires-sendlabs.html New Hampshire Business Review]</ref> EveryDNS,<ref>[http://www.xconomy.com/boston/2010/01/07/dyn-inc-buys-everydns/ xconomy]</ref> and EditDNS.<ref>[http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Dyn-Inc-Acquires-EditDNS-and-iw-2477027455.html?x=0 Yahoo Finance]</ref>

In 2010, Dyn purchased the Manchester, New Hampshire-based SendLabs. This acquisition allowed Dyn to begin offering message management services. This combination of traffic management and message management services allows Dyn to bill itself as a provider of internet performance solutions.
