'''DNS.com''' provides managed global anycast [[DNS]] hosting and [[geolocation]] (also known as geotargeting and IP location) services.<ref>[http://www.crunchbase.com/company/dns-com CrunchBase]</ref> The service detects the geographical location of a website's visitors and allows website administrators to determine traffic rules that will route visitors to geographically appropriate content or servers.
==History==
DNS.com was originally founded by [[Dan Kimball]], [[Brian Smith]], [[Sean Stafford]], and [[Eric Radtke]] in 2008 as '''Comwired Inc.''', after two years of effort in forming a flexible, ultra reliable network solution for their small start-up business.<ref>[http://www.dns.com/company/ About DNS.com]</ref> The original motivation for creating their own DNS was to create an innovative, bottom-up system, focused more on security and speed than traditional systems.<ref>[http://www.thewhir.com/blog/Stacy_Griggs/042910_Interview_With_DNScom The Whir Interview with Dan Kimball]</ref>
