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.[1]
Partners & Acquisitions
- Dyn started off 2010 by acquiring both EveryDNS and EditDns. The founder of EditDNS credited Dyn with making a smart acquisition, at a time when EditDNS was in trouble, and continuing to demonstrate its dedication to a secure DNS.[2]
- NTT America began an infrastructure partnership with Dyn in June, 2010.[3]
- Dyn acquired fellow Manchester-based IT company, SendLabs in January, 2011. Sendlabs allows Dyn to offer its clients outbound email services.[4]
