Dyn (aka Dyn Inc) is an infrastructure as a service company that provides Internet DNS and email delivery services for commercial and private users. It originally provided a free dynamic DNS service, which allowed users to have a subdomain that points to a computer with regularly changing IP addresses, such as those served by many consumer-level Internet service providers. An update client installed on the user's computer, or built into a networked device such as a router or webcam, keeps the hostname up to date with its current IP address. The company also provides a content filtering service called Internet Guide.

The free service is no longer available to new users, although a 14-day trial is still available.

Dyn offers paid domain registrations, recursive DNS, email forwarding and redirection, network monitoring and URL redirection. Its corporate headquarters are in Manchester, New Hampshire and moved to its fourth location in the summer of 2011.
