iQ.global, operating from Norway, serves the domain name and hosting industry by providing a suite of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and consulting solutions. The company originated from a need identified by its founders, Michael B. Halvorsen and Rolf Larsen, while they were managing the .global top-level domain. They recognized a gap in the market for specialized business intelligence tools and other services within the domain industry. In 2017, leveraging Halvorsen's software development background, they launched a suite of services under the name RegistryOffice. By 2020, following the sale of the .global domain, the company rebranded to iQ.global.
The company's business model is centered on providing AI-enhanced tools and expert consultancy to domain infrastructure businesses. Their offerings are designed to help clients like top-level domain registries, registrars, and hosting companies manage online threats and make data-driven decisions. Revenue is generated through subscriptions to their SaaS products and fees for consulting services.
iQ.global's product lineup includes several key services. iQ Domain Analytics provides business intelligence specifically for top-level domain registries. iQ Abuse Manager is a platform that offers access to curated abuse feeds and a management system to handle cases like phishing, malware, and spam efficiently. The company also offers a fully managed abuse mitigation service using this tool. Their iQ Abuse Scan service, launched in 2022, monitors domains and other internet resources for malicious activity and sends data-rich alerts. Additionally, the company provides iQ Broker for premium domain name transactions and iQ Consulting, which leverages the team's extensive experience in domain name policy, operations, and premium name strategy.
