MILESTONE ALERT: 3 Million Internet Users Now Surfing Safer, Faster, Smarter and More Reliably with OpenDNS
OpenDNS Rings in the New Year Providing a Better Internet for More than 3 Million users!
Jan 8, 2008 — San Francisco -- OpenDNS, the award-winning DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced 3 million Internet users worldwide have adopted the service, a number which continues to skyrocket. By comparison, there are roughly 3 million people living in the city of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States. Further, more than 10,000 schools are now running OpenDNS on their networks.
OpenDNS is a superior alternative to the DNS service Internet users get from their Internet Service Provider (ISP), and acts as a complementary solution for network administrators who operate their own DNS servers. OpenDNS provides its customers with 100 percent DNS uptime, and empowers them to stop paying for pricey security solutions that accomplish what OpenDNS offers for free.
In just 18 months since the service launched, OpenDNS, the world’s largest and fastest-growing DNS service, has made tremendous strides in its effort to improve the Internet. Among them is PhishTank.com identifying one quarter of a million phishing scams, each one carrying the potential of devastating financial losses.
“Providing a zero-downtime DNS service to a population the size of Los Angeles is no small feat. We take tremendous pride in the service we offer and the reach we’ve attained in 18 months,” said OpenDNS CEO David Ulevitch. “This unprecedented growth will continue in 2008 as we deliver more ground-breaking innovations that make the Internet better.”
