ICANN-Evaluated Registry Service Provider You Can Trust
Launch and operate your Top-Level Domain with world-class backend infrastructure. From DNS Anycast to DNSSEC key management — all evaluated and approved by ICANN.
What Is a Registry Service Provider?
A Registry Service Provider (RSP) manages the technical backend of a Top-Level Domain — handling DNS, domain provisioning, security, and data protection so TLD operators can focus on business strategy.
ICANN maintains a strict evaluation program for RSPs. Only 28 providers worldwide have passed. PT AIDI Digital Global is one of them — headquartered in Indonesia, serving TLD operators worldwide.
Why Partner with an RSP?
- Reduce infrastructure cost and complexity
- Launch your TLD in 60-90 days
- Built-in ICANN compliance
- 99.999% SLA with 24/7 NOC
- Focus on strategy, not servers
Registry Service Provider — What It Is and How to Choose One
What is a Registry Service Provider?
A Registry Service Provider (RSP) is an organization that operates the technical backend infrastructure for a Top-Level Domain (TLD). RSPs manage the five ICANN-mandated systems every TLD must run: DNS Anycast (global name resolution), EPP/SRS (domain registration database), WHOIS/RDAP (public lookup), DNSSEC (cryptographic security), and Data Escrow (daily encrypted backup). ICANN maintains a strict evaluation program — only 28 RSPs worldwide have passed.
What does an RSP do for a new gTLD applicant?
For the ICANN 2026 New gTLD Round, an RSP provides the technical foundation required to operate a new domain extension. Once your gTLD application is approved, your RSP deploys DNS nameservers worldwide, builds the EPP registration system, implements DNSSEC key management, and begins daily Data Escrow deposits — enabling your TLD to pass ICANN's Pre-Delegation Testing and go live within 60–90 days.
How do I select an RSP for the ICANN 2026 New gTLD Round?
Select an ICANN-evaluated RSP. Only providers that have completed ICANN's technical evaluation can serve as primary RSP for a new gTLD. Evaluate: DNS SLA (99.999% is ICANN's effective standard), DNSSEC with FIPS 140-2 HSM, ICANN-approved Data Escrow agent, EPP/SRS throughput capacity, Service Transition Plan per ICANN MAIN.11, and the vendor's track record of go-live timelines. ADG is ICANN-evaluated and operates within a 60–90 day go-live commitment.
What is the difference between a registry, a registrar, and an RSP?
A registry holds and operates a TLD — for example, Verisign operates .com. A registrar sells domain names to end users — for example, GoDaddy or Namecheap. A Registry Service Provider (RSP) runs the technical backend systems for the registry: the DNS infrastructure, domain registration database, security systems, and mandatory data deposits. The registry sets policy; the RSP operates the platform. ADG is an ICANN-evaluated RSP serving TLD operators worldwide.
