The Solution

FireHost transitioned Dyn over to its secure, cloud-based hosting, and created a partnership with the company based on their mutual goals. FireHost began caching Dyn’s content on the edge, which gave Dyn the ability to create a content delivery network on the fly by using its own load-balancing service. FireHost offered all of the components Dyn was searching for, along with global business continuity and the ability to be highly available to a global audience. Using some of its own services mixed in with and complemented by FireHost’s services, Dyn has seen growth to over 14 million users and offices in the US and UK.

“Prior to partnering with FireHost, Dyn relied upon a globally deployed in-house infrastructure to support its hosting needs. To convince the internal team to move to a different provider other than ourselves was a major hurdle, however FireHost’s fully managed services were extremely appealing to us.” -Kyle York, CRO at Dyn
