Latest developments

DNS currently provides the core registry systems and related services for the ZA Central Registry (ZACR)

The ZACR's transition from its legacy systems to a new, world class, EPP based system and the introduction of a new Registrar Accreditation mechanism, has received widespread acknowledgement and praise as one of the most seamless and professional transitions that any registry has undergone.

DNS's unique policy configuration engine has provided it with the flexibility to adapt its registry service to different policy implementations or multiple, concurrent, policy implementations. This innovative approach to registry configuration and policy optimization has received widespread interest from the technical community.

DNS has assisted the ZACR in preparing and submitting applications for several new gTLDs, including the much anticipated dotAfrica TLD, which will service the African Internet community.
