Other Registry Operators

Operational Heritage & Scale

Nearly 20 years' experience operating registry infrastructure; supports 200+ TLDs and 8M+ domains

Commonly operate smaller portfolios with limited large-scale TLD experience

Experience Operating a .brand

The only major backend operator actively using and promoting its own .brand — firsthand experience with real .brand operations (.godaddy)

No first-hand, customer-facing .brand experience — only theoretical knowledge

Security Capacity

15+ Tbps DDoS mitigation, real-
time threat intel, proprietary Registry Threat Mitigation Service (RTMS), SOC/NOC monitoring, ISO 27001 certified, and SOC2 Type II Reporting

Typically offer commodity DDoS protection with significantly lower capacity and limited threat intel capabilities

DNS Scale & Performance

40B+ DNS queries/day, 30 global nodes, ultra-high availability, and advanced traffic management

Smaller DNS footprints; may rely on third-party networks with limited global reach

Compliance & ICANN Policy Expertise

Deeply engaged with ICANN for nearly two decades; actively supports hundreds of new gTLDs through delegation and compliance

Limited involvement in advancement of best practices; variable expertise navigating policy, audits, and new round requirements

Infrastructure Ownership & Control
