The Dynamic Network Services team is comprised of about twenty engineers living in the heart of Manchester, New Hampshire. Since our company saw the light of day in 1998, as a modest server watched over by two friends in a basement, we have grown smoothly and organically, recruiting the finest networking minds in our area and building one of this world's most stable and most scalable self-healing networks.

A company of engineers

The Internet bubble, as they called it, grew and burst a mere two years after we were founded, not because technology failed its users but because those who marketed it wanted to coerce it into solving problems it was never meant to tackle. For this reason, and for many others, we pride ourselves in our engineering excellence, in refraining from false claims and from hyperbole. Our domain registration, DNS and email services all solve precise, genuine problems our users face on their networks.

With our CEO occasionally working the support queue himself and our six support specialists getting up at night to answer phone calls, we are constantly aware of the pulse of our company. At any given second of any given day, we can tell you what, exactly, is happening on our network, whether we are in the office or in our homes. In fact, we serve more than two million clients, some in mission-critical applications, and receive only 130 calls for help a day on average. How's that for a smooth running operation?

Building upon reliable technologies

Open sourceWe are active members of the open source community and donate to many projects Our infrastructure is built on some of the most reliable, time-tested technologies around. We use BIND for our DNS servers, Apache to serve our pages, Perl to write our tools and Sendmail to process millions of email messages. Most of all, we run all our machines on FreeBSD, the operating system of choice for the Internet's key routers and data centers. This means all our clients, regardless of account type, get to benefit from the very technologies that power the network at its core, the very software upon which mission critical infrastructures were built from the beginning.

To tie the machines together and make them work as one, we have written over 597,835 lines of custom code, comprising interfaces, monitoring devices and administration tools. Every day, these cogs, exclusive to our mechanism, allow it to work smoothly and separate us from our wannabe competitors. In fact, we operate 80 servers and 35 networking elements in five locations: Boston, Chicago, Ashburn, San Jose and London, not counting our custom monitoring system that surveys our operations 24/7 and summons someone to work as soon as something seems off-color.

Advisors to the greatest

Fortune 500We count Fortune 500 companies among our patrons. If our two million user base is not proof enough of the quality of our work, let us indulge in a bit of name dropping. Do the words Mozilla Foundation ring a bell? Or CNN Networks? Twitter, Odeo, Breitling maybe? Or even Anadarko and Netnanny? We provide services to all these people. We are also the sole provider for the .coop TLD, and have been since January 2006, meaning a big chunk of the Internet quite literally relies on us.

Beyond being a fun loving, hard working team of networking specialists, we are sound business partners and trusted development advisors to some of the biggest names in the modern economy. When it comes to putting together an infrastructure that can never go down, who could help better than those whose DNS has not failed since 2001? IT sense meets business sense: there is no boundary to what you can do.

We are a closely knit, passionate, dedicated team of engineers, working around the clock to answer the needs of our customers and to build the world's most stable, most scalable and most robust infrastructure there is.
