Why Dyn’s DNS?

Consistent, industry-leading performance

DNS performance matters. For modern sites and applications, DNS resolution can account for up to 30% of site load time. Dyn is consistently at the top of the league table for DNS performance. We respond to DNS queries in less than 30 milliseconds worldwide, and propagate DNS records across the globe in under a minute. But low latency and fast propagation alone aren’t enough, Dyn’s network is consistently fast and responsive, delivering dependable performance for web sites and applications. Analysis shows that Dyn’s DNS network performance is up to 10 times more consistent than competing networks. If your company runs on the web, faster DNS performance translates directly to better user experiences, improved customer loyalty and increased revenues.

World’s most comprehensive internet performance data set

We intelligently route user traffic using internet performance data from over 600 collection points across the globe. Every day we gather and analyze over 240 billion source collected data points, and make 40 billion traffic optimization decisions to help our customers improve user experiences and contain costs. This data set gives Dyn the ability to deliver intelligent responses to DNS queries based on policies, geo-location and network latency.

Battle-tested reliability and security

Our global anycast network of multiple data centers are strategically located across multiple continents and leverages a mix of redundant internet transit providers for ultimate resiliency. The network is split into two separate constellations and supports active/active failover to ensure service continuity in the event of catastrophes. Specifically architected to absorb and mitigate DNS DDoS attacks, our world-class network is monitored around the clock. We detect and remediate 50 significant DDoS attacks every month--usually before they are noticed by our customers. All of this network resilience is built and managed by one of the largest and most experienced teams of DNS experts.
