Technical Support

1 CentralNic Registry’s Shared Registry Service Platform

CentralNic Registry distinguishes itself by embracing openness and transparency in its relationships with Registry Partners. The “standard” service package alone provides a level of access that goes above and beyond anything offered by any other backend provider.

CentralNic’s registry platform is among the world’s largest shared registry platforms, capable of supporting hundreds of top-level domains and tens of millions of second-level domains, while still maintaining high-performance, stability and resilience.

2 Hybrid and Bespoke Solutions

CentralNic Registry offers bespoke solutions to fit the unique regulatory and policy requirements of countries. CentralNic Registry’s Services include a unique ‘hybrid solution’ which combines the benefits of both the shared and dedicated in-country solutions, by hosting some critical registry service elements on infrastructure in-country, while keeping the SRS on CentralNic’s shared platform.

Additionally, CentralNic Registry offers custom services to complement existing infrastructure or using CentralNic Registry’s SRS but maintaining many administrative functions with the ccTLD Manager.

3 In-Country Solution

The same software powering CentralNic Registry’s shared platform can be used to provide a seamless transition to a dedicated platform hosted in-country as it can be installed and run on any Unix or Unix-like operating system. CentralNic Registry has experience of performing registry transitions of exactly this kind.
