History
Dyn (formerly Dynamic Network Services Inc.) was started in 1998 as a free service. As of 2011 it had over four million users. The company also offers premium DNS and email delivery services for consumers via their DynECT Platform.
The company became a Massachusetts limited liability company on October 24, 2001. In July, 2003, the company reorganized into a Delaware corporation.
In 2006 the company moved to larger premises in Manchester, New Hampshire, and in summer 2011 to 150 Dow St.
The company launched the DynECT Platform in October 2007. As of 2011 it had nearly 1000 enterprise customers using the globally dispersed IP Anycast DNS network and SaaS-based failover, load balancing, geo traffic management and CDN Management services.
In June 2011 the company announced plans to open offices in London, UK and San Francisco, CA.
In November 2011 Dyn reduced the number of free hostnames provided from five to one (but only after signing up for a free trial), except for existing users with active hostnames. Registering for the service involves the purchase of a trial version of Dynamic DNS Pro at no cost, and requires a valid credit card, effectively rendering the service non-anonymous.
