Why use a standalone DNS service like Dyn.com?

Posted by ruckfogers, 05-26-2012, 01:06 PM
I have a Wordpress website on a small dedicated server. It's just cpanel on Linux. My mailserver has been going down because of attacks (or so I am told). So I just moved my mail (mx records) to Google Business (Gmail for business). The spam filter rocks! Anyway, someone said that I should consider using Dyn.com or something like that. I have no idea what it does or why I would need it. Can anyone provide me with some clarity?

You use it so you don't need to run named on your server. So you don't have to worry about using any resources, getting DDOS or getting compromised on your server.

That sounds like what I need! Is Dyn good?

Okay, I went with Amazon.

Dyn.com is good, we're using them for some domains.
