Why Choose Us for Your TLD Plans?

Hands-On Experience

Most consultants know about TLDs without ever having worked ON TLDs. Without hands-on registry or brand experience, it puts the success of your top-level domain at risk. We've done it and see it and can help you avoid common mistakes.

Independent

We're committed to providing objective, forthright, confidential guidance to help make your top-level domain a success, not to sell you additional services.

Solid Results

We know what it takes! With experience in the daily operations of over 30 open & dotBrand TLDs and a 100% success rate on over 50 Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) applications in the first round.

Your Own Personal Consultants

You will have a dedicated personal consultant to help navigate and guide your team through each and every step of TLD Class. They will help you to develop your ideas and create actionable plans, then support your team through the application process, launch and ongoing operation of your TLD.  

Your consultant will also gain a deeper understanding of your organisation to align your business strategies with your TLD priorities, maximising its value and success.

Step-by-Step Benefits Framework

Many applicants that applied in the last round did not plan adequately and many remain under-utilised.

Navigating ICANN’s policies and procedures can be overwhelming, even for those familiar with the industry.

Our blend of online tools and 1:1 engagement will guide your team through all the different aspects and complexities of applying, understanding the top benefits, developing your customised, actionable plans and immediately begin realising its value. 

Space for Your Entire Team

Engaging your relevant stakeholders is key to developing and executing plans for your TLD. Our service helps facilitate multi-functional collaboration, reducing the burden of individual TLD champions within an organisation.  

We recognise that global organisations have teams that can be dispursed nationally and internationally.  TLD Class is designed to facilitate cross-functional engagement that caters for different locations, remote working practices and time zones.  

For continuity purposes, we also appreciate that staff turnover can impact on medium-term projects.  Our approach mitigates these issues efficiently and effectively, helping newcomers to the team to learn quickly and begin contributing to the overall goals.

We Go Beyond ICANN Applications

We are passionate about making your TLD successful. 

Guiding and preparing clients through the application process is important, that’s for sure, but helping identify and creating value is our priority, right from the start. 

For open TLDs, this includes researching and evaluating ideas, identifying target audiences, devising pricing strategies and assessing competitors. 

For dotBrand TLDs, this includes understanding different uses and their value, internal buy-in, developing customizable plans and creating competitive advantage. 

Independent with a Proven Track Record

We have hands-on experience with dotBrands and open TLDs, including highly-restricted and geographic TLDs; in the last round we had a 100% success rate on over 50 applications and experience in the daily operations of over 30 open and dotBrand TLDs. Unlike most consultants, we have actually worked on TLDs!

W also draw from a great network of experts across the industry, experienced in registry services, corporate and retail registrars, internet governance and ICANN policy, intellectual property, technology and security.  

Being independent from registry and registrar service providers ensures we provide objective, forthright, confidential guidance to help make your TLD a success.
