The company says that the Registry infrastructure development will enable HKDNR to introduce new services and features to .hk domain name customers. It will also empower HKDNR to multiply its volume of domain names while maintaining the highest standard of service reliability by adopting Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).

According to the company, the Shared Registry-Registrar model is an essential step for country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Registries to face the global competition and rapid development of the Internet. The Shared Registry-Registrar system, based on WEBCC's RegistryASP SRS suite provides Registries a set of process automation tools and management applications enabling them to manage and maintain Registrar connections to the Registry. The suite also facilitates registries with an end-to-end solution to fully integrate and automate domain name registration, resolution and management services.

"We see strong potential in this area especially among Asian country-code top level domain registries as they deploy similar system to their business operations. RegistryASP would empower HKDNR to further streamline and improve domain names registration process and connect to more overseas registrars, thereby extending HKDNR reach to many potential overseas customers," said TK Tan, CEO of WEBCC.
