Dynamic Network Services, Inc., established in 1998 by a team of young technologists, is a company offering web hosting services and sophisticated web technology solutions. It is an IaaS and DNS services manager; they provide two different DNS platforms, one for individuals and small businesses, and the other for larger corporations.[1] They claim to be the world's fastest growing provider of managed DNS.[2]
Dyn's current clients include: Twitter, CNBC, Netflix, Photobucket, Gawker, Pandora, and Zappos. They all use their Dynect Platform.[3]
In June, 2009, it became the first managed DNS provider to offer its Dynect Platform clients DNSSEC.[4]
History
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.[5]
They began outsourcing to the market in 2007. In 2010, the company purchased three companies – SendLabs[6], EveryDNS[7] and EditDNS[8].
Services
The company offers core engineering services specializing in Apache, Python, FreeBSD, OpenVPN and Perl. Hardware and networking facilities and services are also offered as uninterrupted internet connections, air conditioning, power, operating conditions, authentication systems and security services.
WikiLeaks
Dyn, Inc. was quickly wrapped up within the controversy of WikiLeaks' release of classified American documents as they provided web-hosting services for the site. Dyn stopped hosting Wikileaks on Dec. 2nd, 2010; Wikileaks had made its big release a month prior. Dyn has said it was forced to stop hosting the site after numerous DoS attacks, which put its ability to provide for its other 500,000 customers in jeopardy. [9]
