TORONTO, August 6, 2025 – Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), a notable player in the global internet services arena, has announced a strategic partnership with Radix, one of the world’s foremost portfolio registries. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Tucows, as it is set to provide back-end registry services for Radix’s extensive portfolio of top-level domains (TLDs).

1. A High-Profile Partnership

Under the terms of the agreement, Tucows Registry, a segment of Tucows Domains, will take over the technical registry operations for Radix’s impressive collection of 11 TLDs. This includes 10 new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and one country-code TLD (ccTLD), along with a second-level domain TLD (SLD). Notably, Radix’s portfolio features some of the most recognized and high-performing domain extensions globally, including .online, .store, .tech, .site, and .fun.

David Woroch, CEO of Tucows Domains, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Being selected by Radix—an industry leader known for innovation and brand strength—is a powerful endorsement of our capabilities." He emphasized that this collaboration positions Tucows Registry as a preferred platform for top-tier registry operators and prepares the company for the anticipated wave of new TLDs expected in 2026.

2. Expanding Domain Management

The migration of Radix’s domains to Tucows Registry is projected to occur in November 2025. This transition is expected to significantly boost Tucows' domain management capabilities by adding approximately 10 million domains under management (DUMs). Following this migration, Tucows will oversee nearly 17 million domains globally. This growth trajectory is complemented by previous expansions, including the acquisition of UNR in 2021 and the recent domains migrated from the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).

This agreement further solidifies Tucows' standing as a leading infrastructure provider within the domain industry, as they now offer back-end services for two of the largest registry operators worldwide. The partnership not only creates operational efficiencies but also establishes a clear growth vector within the broader Tucows Domains business.

3. Radix's Innovative Approach

Radix operates on a unique model that emphasizes flexible, keyword-rich domain strings, appealing to a wide range of industries and languages. With over 3.5 million active names under the .online TLD alone, Radix has built a reputation for its innovative, data-driven go-to-market strategies, which have contributed to its global reach and strong renewal rates.

Sandeep Ramchandani, CEO of Radix, commented on the partnership, stating, "Radix is at the crux of a pivotal shift toward a new phase of growth, building on a decade of industry leadership." He highlighted the importance of having a partner like Tucows, which possesses robust domain technology and infrastructure, to support Radix's future scaling efforts.

4. Positioned for Future Growth

The partnership combines Tucows' extensive registry infrastructure capabilities with Radix's proven market performance, creating a formidable alliance in the domain name ecosystem. As the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) gears up to introduce the next round of new gTLDs in 2026, both companies are strategically positioned to capitalize on the forthcoming expansion opportunities.

This collaboration not only enhances Tucows' operational capabilities but also reflects the company's commitment to advancing its domain services. With a deepened relationship with Radix, Tucows is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the domain registration landscape.

As Tucows continues to expand its footprint in the internet services industry, this partnership with Radix underscores its dedication to providing innovative and reliable domain solutions for businesses worldwide.
