Key-Systems' KSregistry GmbH provides back-end registry solutions for ccTLDs and new gTLD applicants.[1] Key-Systems has been offering registry services since 2001; in February 2012, they concentrated these services into the new KSregistry GmbH.[2]
KSregistry is the back-end provider for 31 applications in ICANN's New gTLD Program.[3] The company disclosed that it received 29 out of 30 possible points during the Initial Evaluation of its first application to go through the review. Only 22 points are needed to pass.[4]
In August 2012, the company was selected by AdamsNames to provide back-end services for the .tc, .vg, and .gd ccTLDs. They also provide back-end services for .dm, the Dominican ccTLD.[5][6]
KSregistry's main components are set up as a cluster with a minimum of two servers, and all system backups are distributed to two different geographical sites. The complete design of their system is based on TIER III architecture, in order to guarantee maximum security for all services. By using their own SkyWay DataCenter the company is able to ensure fast reaction times and full process control.[7]
Unclear Dispute at AdamsNames[edit | edit source]
In March 2013, KSRegistry was wrapped up in a dispute which seemed to arise from two members of the executive management at AdamsNames, the registries for .tc, .vg, and .gd, for which KSregistry is contracted to provide technical services. One side alleged that his counterpart, working with KSregistry, had hijacked the registry operations, while KSregistry wrote on its own site that; "KSregistry GmbH still provides the technical back-end services for the ccTLDs .TC, .GD and .VG authorized by AdamsNames Ltd., but this is currently hampered by the actions of the third party. In order to not endanger the integrity of the zone after addressing the issues, the Key-Systems GmbH as registrar has decided to not permit current modifications to domains under .TC, .GD and .VG. The resolution and renewal of the domains are not affected."[8]
