CSC Global

CSC Global is an enterprise domain registrar and corporate services provider that has been managing high-stakes corporate infrastructure since 1899. When ICANN opened applications for custom brand extensions in 2012, CSC helped Fortune 500 clients submit hundreds of those 250-page applications. Every one was accepted.

CSC is the world's largest enterprise domain registrar, managing more than two million domain names including some of the highest-traffic websites online. It does not compete for individual customers on discount pricing. The client base is enterprises that need domain portfolio management, managed DNS services, and the security protocols Fortune 500 companies require.

CSC does not monetize client domains through domain spinning, domain auctions, or traffic diversion, all of which would create conflicts of interest with corporate clients. Its domain acquisition service can negotiate anonymously, conducting business in CSC's own name to protect client identity during high-value purchases.

More than a third of all current dot-brand top-level domains are under CSC management, which makes it the dominant provider for companies operating branded extensions such as .apple or .google. Its Trademark Clearinghouse registration service has the highest number of trademark filings among authorized agents.

Domain services are one piece of a wider corporate infrastructure business. The same company handles business formation in all 50 states, acts as registered agent, manages corporate compliance, and provides fund administration services. For global enterprises, that consolidation removes the complexity of working with multiple vendors across jurisdictions.

After more than a century in business and acquisitions across four continents, CSC operates in more than 140 jurisdictions. The 2022 acquisition of Intertrust Group established the company as what it describes as the premiere provider of global business administration and compliance solutions.
