OpenDNS resolves 300 billion requests, no downtime

by John Roberts on Aug 24th, 2007

Earlier today, OpenDNS resolved its 300,000,000,000th DNS request. That’s two months after hitting 200 billion, and five months after resolving our first 100 billion. In the past two weeks, we’ve been resolving more than 2 billion requests daily (stats).

All of us want to thank our customers for making OpenDNS the world’s largest and fastest-growing DNS service. With zero downtime (system status).

    I’m VERY grateful for your service — but if you’re gonna keep saying “Zero Downtime” — you better be knockin’ on wood. :) Good work.

    Pretty soon we will be celebrating our trillionth resolved DNS request. Maybe you guys can give a prize to whoever requested the trillionth request.

    thanks a lot, i have to use mediacom and the dns server they autimatically give you really sucks and doesnt give you the webpage a third of the time. I called mediacoms tech support and they were dumb as hell, i took ccna 1,2,3, and 4 in high school and figured out that my connection problems were probably due to their dns server, since switching to open dns, i havent ahd any problems.

    Simply superb! Better, faster and more reliable than my ISP or other co-lo providers. I even use Open DNS at work, at home and at our co-location facilities. Couldn’t ask for more!

    I’m quite happy with my decision to switch our DNS services to OpenDNS. I also love the fact that it just seems to keep getting better! Congratulations OpenDNS team!
