In the few days since namehelp was written up by McCormick News, Fabián Bustamante reports that Aqualab's new web performance-improving app has been covered in ACM TechNews, Computerworld, Networkworld, to name a few, and there is quite a bit of buzz on Twitter. The number of users as of this writing is 1367, a number that has been rising steeply since the media coverage began. Essentially, namehelp improves web performance by obtaining more accurate redirections to nearby content delivery network servers. Namehelp improves your web performance when either you or your ISP uses a remote DNS service. You can install namehelp from this link at the Aqualab site.
