ICANN new gTLDs

New gTLD Service Providers

This is a list of new gTLD service providers, some I recommend for the next round of the ICANN new gTLD program, some I do work with (or have worked with) and some I heard about. According to the particularity of a new gTLD project (generic, dotBrand, community, geographic), some are better experienced, some have a better price, some have qualifications to sell domain names, some will just write a new gTLD application and submit it, some will offer "the full package" (application, backend registry solution...), some will be able to expand a registry's business. Escrow Agents were added but most of the time one is recommended by the backend registry service provider.

Which one is best?

Some won't want to waste time and will need a specific service provider to offer the full package, some will need to deal with a Law Firm and some will want the true speech from one with no interest in a service he does not offer, some will want an external provider to take care of everything and some will want the best price. Some will want to innovate and some will want to focus on selling their domain names as fast as possible. There is no best service provider but according to a project and "if it was me", I would use one or the other.

Note that some providers sub-contract the writing of the new gTLD application and it remains unclear - at some providers - if they provide that service or not. For this reason I did not tick the checkbox.
