Melbourne IT has proven expertise in deploying domain name registry infrastructure and well defined operational procedures for the successful establishment of a top level domain (gTLD). We can arrange complete turn-key gTLD registry solutions or assist with the technical specifications and project management for internal development if desired.

Our preferred partner for New gTLD registry operation infrastructure is VeriSign. We work with registry service providers that have proven and reliable infrastructure. This not only shortens deployment time, but for the majority of deployments will result in the most economical and reliable TLD registry implementation.
