| '''.pw - The Professional Web''' is the re-launched [[registry]] for the [[ccTLD#Open ccTLD|Open ccTLD]] for Palau, [[.pw]]. The Professional Web is a subsidiary of [[Directi]], which operates prominent registrars, hosting, and development companies, and is also an applicant for 30 [[New gTLD Program|new gTLDs]]. Despite these applications, the launching of the now-open ccTLD represents the Directi group's first active [[registry]] operation. The official launch of the [[TLD]] is [[ICANN 45]] in Toronto, with a [[Sunrise Period| sunrise period]] beginning in December, 2012.

|
| The .pw ccTLD was delegated to the Pacific island nation of Palau in 1997. It has been redelegated a number of times, and [[Directi]] obtained exclusive rights over the .pw - The Professional Web in 2004 from [[EnCirca]], the [[registrar]] that originally launched the eponymous acronym. Prior plans for the ccTLD were to create a bundled social media and messaging product, though that project did not come to fruition, and so the ccTLD has seen little registration and is consequently now open for wide growth

|
| |
|
| Technical registry functions will be handled by [[CentralNic]], which will support [[DNSSEC]], [[IPv6]], and multiple [[IDN]]s. While the Directi group includes its own registrars, such as [[LogicBoxes]] and [[ResellerClub]], it is also looking for other registrars to sell .pw.

| Directi is valued at $300+ million. With more than 1,000 employees, the company serves over 1,000,000 customers and has 50,000+ channel partners, which is growing at a rate of 120% per annum. Its other subsidiaries include [[LogicBoxes]],[[ResellerClub]], [[WebHosting.Info]], [[Skenzo]], [[BigRock]] and [[Radix]]. The latter is an applicant for 31 [[New gTLD Program|new gTLDs]], and has secured over $31 million in investment for its applications and future registry operations.
