Case Study: About.com improves DNS performance and visitor experience with Dyn Managed DNS

A Dyn Case Study

Preview of the About.com Case Study

Improve Site Performance Improve Visitor Experience

About.com, one of the most visited sites on the internet, sought to improve global site performance and visitor experience. A key challenge was the slow DNS lookup times for international visitors, which were as high as 800 milliseconds in regions like Oceania and Asia. To address this, they selected the Managed DNS service from Dyn.

Dyn implemented its Managed DNS solution, leveraging a global Anycast network with over 18 points of presence. This ensured DNS requests were routed to the nearest data center, significantly reducing lookup times. About.com reported immediate improvements in performance and also praised Dyn's reliable API integration and exceptional customer support.
