Cloud-based Information Services Provider Neustar Acquires Domain Name Provider Bombora Technologies
Cloud-based information services provider Neustar, Inc. (Neustar) has acquired domain name provider Bombora Technologies Pty Ltd. (Bombora). The company, which has headquarters in Sterling, Virginia, USA, also has a presence in Washington, DC, McLean, Virginia, and San Francisco, California. The company predominantly caters to “marketing and IT security professionals” with services that allow them to “promote and protect their businesses”. The deal has been estimated as costing AUD $118.5 million ($86.58 million). The acquisition will strengthen Neustar's domain registry capabilities.

Australia-based Bombora Technologies Pty Ltd (Bombora) bills itself as “a group of companies with a strong history in Internet infrastructure technology”. It deals with hardware and software and specializes in “solving complex business problems” for its customers. Its subsidiaries include ARI Registry Services, a Top Level Domain Name Registry Services provider “with a focus on stability, integrity and service”. It caters for a wide range of top-level domains (TLDs), including Australia-focused .au, .melbourne, and .sydney domains alongside .biz, .us, and .co domains and over 300 other new TLDs.

“With this acquisition, Neustar continues to gather momentum as a global leader in launching and operating TLDs,” explained Neustar’s President and CEO, Lisa Hook. “Managing a brand's digital presence through the creation of new TLDs has become a key component of the CMO's tool kit, which aligns with the services we offer in real-time authoritative identity. By combining Bombora’s strong team and market presence in Australia with Neustar’s industry leading organization and technical resources, we are positioned to expand our footprint to the Asia-Pacific region.”
