Radix is a subsidiary business of Directi Group, a $ 300 million company based in Dubai and owner of various domain name registrars and web hosting businesses, including ResellerClub, Media.net, LogicBoxes, BigRock, Skenzo, WebHosting.info and .pw The Professional Web. Radix was established by its parent company to apply for, and become the registry operator of, 31 generic top level domain names (gTLDs) via ICANN's new gTLD expansion program.[1] It had a public launch just weeks before ICANN's "reveal day" of June 13, 2012, when all new gTLD applicants and their applications were disclosed.
The company partnered with ARI Registry Services to serve as its back-end registry service provider for all the gTLDs in its application portfolio.[2]
Proposed New gTLDs
The 31 gTLDs being applied for are:[3] .web, .shop, .bank, .law, .music, .news, .blog, .movie, .baby,.store, .doctor, .hotel, .play, .home, .site, .website, .click, .online, .one, .ping, .space, .world, .press, .chat, .city, .deals, .insurance, .loans, .app, .host and .hosting. More than $30 million was invested by the Directi in its application for the above domain name strings.
