GeoScaling History GeoScaling was founded to provide web scaling services to companies. We have several projects in progress, but our main one for now is GeoScaling DNS. We started working on GeoScaling DNS in 2006. GeoScaling DNS1 was launched in 2007. New accounts could be created by invitation only. The interface was different than the one you see in DNS2. You could only redirect visitors based on the country, and updates to the nameservers were not real-time (but fairly close).

Note: If you want to redirect visitors based on their country of origin, network name, uptime information, or extra information, please don't forget to select the “share” checkboxes in the Edit smart subdomain page.
