Los Angeles / Amsterdam, 1 May 2014 – Escrow4all has been approved by ICANN – as the first in continental Europe – to provide data escrow services to new gTLD registry operators.
All new gTLD registry operators will be required to regularly deposit a backup copy of their TLD registration (WHOIS) data through one of the data escrow service providers approved by ICANN. The data held in escrow may be released to ICANN under certain circumstances in order to preserve the stability of the TLD in case of an emergency.
Our team members have been involved with the operations of Data Escrow arrangements for various country code TLDs in Europe. This extensive experience shall now be adapted to provide smart solutions and excellent services to new gTLD registry operators. Expressly for European gTLD holders, Escrow4all’s guarantee that all registration data will solely be stored within the European borders is very reassuring.
Sentia will act as infrastructure partner and was involved from the start of the application process. This Amsterdam based managed services provider is specialized in business critical applications. A large number of Sentia’s customers are banks and insurance companies. Their private cloud is entirely hosted within the EU and meets the highest industry standards.
Escrow4all is a private company solely owned by its management and key staff members. It is fully ISO 27001 certified and has recently won the
FD Gazellen Award 2013 for its achievement as one the fastest growing and financially fit companies in the Netherlands.
