History
DNS.com was originally founded by Dan Kimball, Brian Smith, Sean Stafford, and Eric Radtke in 1991[2] after two years of effort in forming a flexible, ultra reliable network solution for their small start-up business.[3] The original motivation for creating their own DNS system was
They did not acquire the present domain name (DNS.com) until they purchased it in 2010.[4]
DNS.com was acquired by Comwired Inc. in 2010,[5] and then by Comodo, an internet security company, in 2011.[6]
