Premium names are a valuable asset for your registry. We can help you find, appraise and implement your premium names list to maximise your asset.

Tailoring your terms and conditions to be in line with your business objectives, can be the most effective way to be in compliance with ICANN and your ccTLD Registry Agreements.
Our team has many years of experience within the ICANN eco system both as a registry and a registrar. We can ensure that your policies and systems are in compliance and staying compliant in this changing regulatory environment.
Domain name abuse hurts your Registry´s reputation. To manage abuse efficiently, you need policies that define acceptable use and provide you legal justification in order to take action.
iQ’s senior Compliance and Policy staff can assist you in developing or reviewing existing policies if needed. We can also assist in developing internal routines and practices to help you most efficiently enforce your policies.
iQ also has tools to effectively mitigate abuse within your namespace, independent of the volume.
