CentralNic Plc secures contract to support 14 new Top-Level
Domains
CentralNic Group plc (AIM:CNIC), the internet platform that
derives revenue from the worldwide sales of internet domain names,
has agreed with Germany's KSregistry GmbH (or "KSregistry") for
CentralNic's wholesale division to provide its market leading
services for 14 Top-Level Domain ("TLD") extensions currently
managed by Open Registry, which KSregistry acquired from Group NCC
in 2017. The deal will benefit CentralNic with additional recurring
revenues from Government and enterprise clients.
Under the terms of the deal with KSregistry, CentralNic will
increase the number of new Top-Level Domains for which it is the
Registry management platform to 65, with TLD clients spread across
four continents.
Ben Crawford, CEO at CentralNic said "I am delighted to agree
this deal with KSregistry, whose owners are among Europe's most
successful experts in the domain name industry."
"CentralNic's registry platform is the most advanced and feature
rich in the world. Coupled with KSregistry's unmatched management
and customer service means that we can provide current and future
TLD registry clients with the very best technology, experience and
support at competitive pricing," said Alexander Siffrin, CEO at
KSregistry.
CentralNic's wholesale division is already the global leader, as
it is the only company to support six out of the top twenty new
Top-Level Domains, including .xyz, the domain chosen for new
ventures by Google (abc.xyz), Deloitte (exponentials.xyz) and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (engine.xyz) among many
others. CentralNic is also a leader in TLD services for governments
and enterprise, managing multiple country-code and geographic TLDs
as well as the TLDs of Global 1000 companies such as Saudi Telecom,
Etisalat, and Kuwait Finance House.
