Dyn, Inc. (pronounced /ˈdaɪn/) is an Internet performance management company, offering products to monitor, control, and optimize online infrastructure, and also domain registration services and email products. The company was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2016.
Dyn was created as a community-led student project by Jeremy Hitchcock, Tom Daly, Tim Wilde and Chris Reinhardt during their undergraduate studies at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Originally, Dyn enabled students to access lab computers and print documents remotely. The project then moved towards domain name system (DNS) services. The first iteration was a free dynamic DNS service known as DynDNS. The project required $25,000 to stay open, and raised over $40,000.
The donation based model continued until 2002, and stopped with a launch of "donator-only" DNS services. Later, a premium service called the DynECT Managed DNS Platform became available in 2008., with the hiring of Kyle York, Gray Chynoweth and Cory von Wallenstein, as the business began to scale.
In 2011, Dyn opened an office in London, and it eventually moved its EMEA headquarters to Brighton. In the same year, Dyn opened its new headquarters in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States.
In October 2012, Dyn completed a Series A round of venture capital funding totaling US$ 38 million from North Bridge Venture Partners. Prior to the investment from North Bridge, the company had been self funded.
