Are you ICANN accredited?

Yes, we are ICANN accredited. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) are the governing body for Domain Names.

They coordinate domains across the world so that one global Internet can exist.

ICANN Accreditation involves various checks to ensure that we are in good financial health, that we have the technical ability to manage hundreds of thousands of domains and that we have the processes in place to ensure that should the worst happen, your domains will always be safe.

ICANN regularly checks and monitors registrars to ensure that we are following the policy and providing the correct standard of service, this includes audits of our systems and data to ensure it continues to be compliant.

Because we are ICANN Accredited this means we are authorised to deal directly with registries such as Verisign who power .COM and .NET domains.

Working directly with registries enables us to provide faster support, be more proactive in our management of domains, take advantage of registry promotions and other cost savings which means cheaper pricing and better service for you.
