Business
VeriSign, Inc. is a global provider of critical Internet infrastructure and domain name registry services, enabling the secure and reliable navigation of the Internet. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, VeriSign operates primarily in Internet services and infrastructure, focusing on managing authoritative domain name registries for the .com and .net top-level domains, which serve as the backbone for much of global e-commerce. Its core products and services include domain name registry services; operation of two of the thirteen global Internet root servers; managed DNS services; distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation; and network intelligence solutions. VeriSign also offers payments gateway services and customer care solutions targeted at wireless carriers, expanding its portfolio in telecommunication services. In the last two years, VeriSign has notably expanded its telecommunication services through the acquisition of H.O. Systems, a leading provider of billing and customer care solutions for wireless carriers, enhancing its Illuminet subsidiary's offerings for billing, CRM applications, and mobile internet and m-commerce solutions. The acquisition, valued at approximately $340 million, aims to combine H.O. Systems’ billing platform with VeriSign’s payment gateway and clearing services to deliver a comprehensive suite for wireless carriers. Additionally, VeriSign continues to report strong financial performance with consistent revenue growth driven by increased domain registrations and renewal rates, alongside a strategic focus on Internet security and infrastructure resilience. VeriSign maintains exclusive, long-term contracts for the management and operation of its domain registries and continues to invest in service expansion to support Internet stability and security worldwide. VeriSign serves a diverse customer base including registrars, enterprises, wireless carriers, and global internet users, operating primarily across North America and internationally through Internet infrastructure services. Its subsidiaries include Illuminet Holdings, which delivers telecommunication network services. VeriSign reported approximately $419 million in revenue for Q3 2025, reflecting a 7.3 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024, evidencing robust demand for domain name services and growth in the domain name base to over 170 million .com and .net domains. With a workforce of around 930 employees, VeriSign continues to invest in technology and strategic acquisitions to maintain its leadership in Internet infrastructure and security services.
