Deep dives
The Origins of DN Simple
Anthony Eden shares how DN Simple was born out of a unique opportunity in the late 1990s when the internet's domain registration process was deregulated. Initially working on a CMS project in France that wasn't successful, he returned to the U.S. and took a chance on a job that required him to aid someone in becoming an accredited domain registrar within a tight five-day deadline. His success in this endeavor led him to become the CTO of one of the first seven domain registrars during that time. This serendipitous beginning laid the groundwork for Eden's lifelong passion for DNS and eventually led to the creation of DN Simple in 2010.
