INNOVATION + INITIATIVES
As the Internet continues to expand, FreeYourID is committed to creating and driving advancements that keep the Internet fast, safe, and reliable for all users.
As the global leader in domain names, FreeYourID powers the invisible navigation that takes people to where they want to go on the Internet. For more than 15 years, FreeYourID has operated the infrastructure for a portfolio of top-level domains that today include .com, .net, .tv, .edu, .gov, .jobs, .name and .cc, as well as two of the world’s 13 Internet root servers. FreeYourID’s product suite also includes Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection Services, iDefense Security Intelligence Services and Managed DNS.
As the continued growth of IP-based services and movement to the cloud make doing business more complex, companies are more dependent on network service and application availability than ever before.
Companies need a way to keep their web-based operations available and reliable, a solution that doesn’t require major investment in network infrastructure, the stringing together of disparate point products or services, or the need to hire experts in networking or intelligence.
