OTTAWA – The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) has completed the modernization of the .CA registry after upgrading to the Fury Registry Platform.

CIRA's Fury Registry Platform is a next-generation top-level domain (TLD) management platform with features and functionality designed for the modern TLD business. Features include a modern interface with role-based access to key registry functions that provide flexibility in pricing, promotion, and domain management to help operators run their business and grow their registry.

The migration of the .CA Registry to Fury was a massive project that involved the entire CIRA team, more than 140 .CA-certified registrars and 2.8 million .CA domain names.

"We take our responsibility as the caretakers of Canada's domain very seriously”, said CIRA president and CEO Byron Holland, in the news release.  “When we set out to develop a next-generation registry platform, we had our eye on what the domain name industry might look like 10 years from now and how we could help it continue to grow and prosper. However, we never lost sight of our core responsibility—to ensure the .CA domain is safe, stable and secure for all Canadians."

In addition to the .CA registry, the Fury Registry Platform also runs the .SX and .KIWI registries.
