Claim Register.comOVERVIEW
Register.com is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, IANA registrar ID 168, based in United States, operating since 1994 (New York). Accreditation means it is authorised to register domains directly in gTLD registries rather than reselling through another registrar.
The accreditation is held through the legal entity Register SPA, which is how the company appears in ICANN and RDAP records.
This profile is unclaimed, so everything shown is drawn from the IANA registry and public records rather than from the company itself. The Disclosure section below tracks 17 owner facts, from .com renewal price to transfer-out fees, each marked Not disclosed until the registrar verifies and answers.

Official records come from IANA and ICANN source data. Owner-declared facts are published by the verified profile owner and are not independently audited. Disclosure is free and does not affect directory placement.
0 of 17 owner facts disclosed
Register.com does not have a published DRI yet. Scores only publish once a profile clears the evidence floor, so no registrar gets a number HostList cannot stand behind. Still needed:
- Verify ownership of this profile
- Disclose at least 4 facts (0/4 so far)
- Link a review presence (25+ Trustpilot or 10+ G2 reviews)
Four equal-weight components, 25 points each. Built from verified ownership, third-party reviews, disclosure coverage, and data recency. No paid influence.

Is Register.com still ICANN-accredited?
Yes. Register.com remains on the ICANN accredited registrar list, now under the Newfold Digital corporate structure alongside Network Solutions.
HostList ranks registrars and hosts by HRI and profile completeness, not by advertising spend. HostList does not run affiliate links; outbound links go to the provider’s own site. Labeled sponsor banners, when offered, never change HRI, directory order, or spotlight selection. ICANN accreditation data is sourced from official IANA and ICANN directories.
