Key-Systems' KSregistry GmbH (link to ksregistry website) 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] 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.[4][5]

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.[6]
