DYN did a lot more than just Authoritative DNS. They did monitoring that then would facilitate a failover to different hosting environments, creating a quick active active or active passive failover depending on your configuration. They offered this with a complete web GUI that had permission controls that were granular so newer techs or less technical employees could login and manage just a single record or series of records.
Not to mention their solutions are very fast.
I'm not aware of any other dns host that does all of this.
- Mojah 10y agoAbsolutely! This only applies if you used Dyn as a DNS provider with DDoS protection, not if you've used any of their failover capacity. Having said that, I also don't think people should rush to get away from Dyn. Take your time, evaluate the buy and see where the service goes in a few months. If nothing changes for you, why even bother changing?
- manigandham 10y agoRoute53, Azure, and NSOne have it already. CloudFlare is about to have it too. Google Cloud solves this with global load balancers if you're running in their cloud. There are several other DNS providers that have varying levels of this functionality. There is nothing unique about Dyn except their pricing.
