About the Company

Verisign

Operates core domain registry and DNS

Verisign maintains the master registries for .com and .net, managing the database of all registered domain names and the infrastructure that makes those domains reachable worldwide. It works by selling per-registration and renewal services to domain registrars, while running a global DNS network that ensures accurate, fast resolution for users. It differentiates itself by focusing on backbone registry operations and DNS infrastructure with a long history of 24/7 reliability, rather than broad consumer services. Its goal is to keep the internet’s naming system stable and secure and to provide predictable revenue from registry and related services.
