Verisign Announces Delegation of .Web
VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN), a global provider of critical internet infrastructure and domain name registry services, today announced that .web has been delegated into the global Domain Name System’s (DNS) root zone, with Verisign as the designated registry operator. The delegation of .web follows the successful resolution of all previous disputes related to the generic top-level domain (gTLD), the details of which are confidential.
Operating the world’s most technically sophisticated and globally distributed gTLD registry infrastructure, Verisign is uniquely positioned to operate .web at the same level of performance and availability that has enabled more than 29 years of 100 percent uninterrupted DNS resolution for .com and .net. With a worldwide channel of registrar partners, and decades of experience leveraging channel relationships to market and distribute TLDs like .com, and .net, Verisign is poised to offer .web as an attractive new domain for TLD registrants across the globe.
With the steady, global growth in reliance on the World Wide Web, identity and security are increasingly important. The .web TLD can offer recognizable names, paired with the security, stability, and resiliency of Verisign’s DNS infrastructure, for businesses and individuals seeking to establish or expand their online identities.
