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>

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. <ref>[http://www.nhbr.com/businessnewsstatenews/905237-257/dyn-inc.-acquires-sendlabs.html NHBR.com]</ref>
