Tucows to provide back-end registry services to Radix's 11 top-level domains.

Tucows Inc., a global provider of internet services, has been awarded a contract to provide back-end registry services to Radix, a world's largest portfolio registry. Tucows will assume technical registry operations for Radix's 11 top-level domains (TLDs), including 10 new generic TLDs and one country-code TLD. This partnership highlights Tucows Registry's capabilities and marks another milestone for the company.

Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX), a leading provider of internet services, has been awarded a significant contract to manage back-end registry services for Radix, one of the world's largest portfolio registries. Under the agreement, Tucows will assume technical registry operations for Radix's 11 top-level domains (TLDs), including 10 new generic TLDs and one country-code TLD. This strategic partnership is expected to add approximately 10 million domains under management (DUMs) to Tucows' platform, bringing their total to nearly 17 million domains globally [1].

The migration, scheduled for November 2025, marks a significant expansion for Tucows' registry business. Radix, known for its high-performing domain extensions like .online (with over 3.5 million active names), .store, .tech, .site, and .fun, will transfer its technical operations to Tucows. This move positions Tucows as a leading infrastructure provider in the domain industry, now supporting two of the largest registry operators worldwide [1].

The partnership comes at an opportune time as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) prepares to open the next round of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) in 2026. Tucows has demonstrated strong momentum in its registry business since acquiring UNR in 2021, followed by migrating domains from the National Internet Exchange of India, and now securing Radix's portfolio [1].

This deal represents a meaningful growth vector for Tucows' Domains business segment, establishing clear operating leverage and positioning the company for future growth. The partnership also highlights Tucows' capabilities in managing critical internet infrastructure services, further solidifying its position in the domain industry.
