Our history

From the beginning, our mission has been to better connect global audiences to the applications that run our world. NS1 was founded in New York City in 2013 when our founders - Kris Beevers, Jonathan Sullivan, and Alex Vayl - realized traditional DNS would need to evolve to keep up with our hyperconnected, application-centric world.
