 == Beginnings==
-Dyn began in 1998 as a free service running out of a college apartment, at that time they offered users a [[DNS]] service capable of hosting a website from a home computer. As business continued to grow, they had to change their business model to be donation based. From there they became a recurring revenue [[SaaS]] company, until they realized, in 2005, that many prominent corporations were using their exclusive suite of software. 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 Dyn.com]</ref>
