The General Services Administration has awarded Verisign a contract of an undisclosed value to run an internet domain registry designed for federal, state, local and tribal government organizations.
GSA said Monday the company will provide a secure infrastructure for the agency to implement domain registration and analytical reporting services via the DotGov Registry site.
DotGov Registry is designed to help government entities register and manage second-level domains.
GSA has managed the .gov and .fed. top-level domains of the U.S. government since 1997.
Reston, Virginia-based Verisign works with customers to help them maintain and protect more than 140 million domain names as well as process more than 130 billion online transactions each day.
