Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND)
Time tested, reference implementation for serving DNS
I also evaluated one of your competitors, but when I saw them
trumpeting the fact that they don't use BIND, as if BIND were a tool
that no serious operation would use, I decided that they weren't the
kind of company I could trust with my DNS.

DynDNS exclusively uses the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND), the reference implementation of the domain name system (DNS). It is the best tool for the job.
- Standards compliant - DNS is a core Internet standard based on a number of RFCs. Proprietary DNS servers are not fully compliant, which leads to unexpected behavior and possibly downtime.
- Performance - BIND is running on more than half of the 13 global DNS root servers, and a large percentage of all nameservers in use on the Internet are running various versions of BIND.
- Security - BIND has been actively developed for more than two decades and has been hardened against virtually every conceivable attack.
- Powerful - BIND allows complete control over everything. Our web interface, combined with BIND, allows you to manage and control your DNS without being an expert.
BIND is an open source product, made freely available by the Internet Software Consortium (ISC), which actively develops and maintains the software. ISC also hosts f.root-servers.net, one of the 13 Internet root servers.
DynDNS is also a member of the ISC BIND Forum.
