ICANN-Accredited Registrars

The following companies have been accredited by ICANN to act as registrars in one or more generic top-level domains (gTLDs). The RAA (Registrar Accreditation Agreement) version indicated after each registrar name designates which contract the registrar has signed with ICANN.

The 2013 RAA is the most current contract governing the registrar relationship with ICANN. The 2013 RAA provides enhanced protections for registrants and an increased level of accountability for registrars, including but not limited to added registrar posting requirements, added compliance enforcement tools, and increased accountability to third parties. Prospective registrants may want to take this fact into account when selecting a registrar for their gTLD name(s).

Registrars who are covered by the 2009 RAA are obligated to follow many provisions that safeguard registrants, but they will not be able to offer as many generic top level domains in the future.

The RAA version is not an indication of how long the registrar has been ICANN accredited. You can view the 2013 RAA at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en
