In 2007, we launched the Dynect Platform (now DynECT Managed DNS) as a nod toward a huge need among our users: enterprise-class managed DNS. Presidents changed, the economy fluctuated up and down and the Internet became more essential to our everyday lives. Those grew as well.Īs we evolved into a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model, we added a barrage of IT services geared toward the home/small business market. More donations came in so we could add services. The solution to the problem was called, a dynamic DNS service for home users to host sites on their home PC and have remote access. We knew customer service was important and made it a cornerstone. Early adopters and donators pushed us through. Our tree will always be rooted in IaaS, which began with DNS and a problem (easy access) - one that we wanted to solve. The board room was the cafeteria and business meetings were held on the way to class. We started in 1998 during the dot-com boom, founded by a couple college kids at WPI.

Makes me VERY glad I left! You should at I FINALLY got the e-mail back from dyn.com and they treated me like I had never been a customer. In the meantime I managed to figure out that (due to the whois secrecy) my domain contact info was out of date. I raised a support case with them and they took 2-3 days to get back to me. My last dealing with dyn.com was when I was trying to disable the whois secrecy.

DNS is a very simple service to run and should be free (namecheap has it this way!) and whois secrecy should be very cheap (less than $5). I think most of the providers out there: dyn.com, godaddy, etc are just price gouging their customers. I recently transferred out to Namecheap and they are under $10 a year for the same service. Their pricing is not in line with the rest of the industry. DYN.com has lost their way I was with dyn.com for several years and I always wondered why they thought $59.99 was the right price for a domain with DNS and whois secrecy.
