Ascio

Our assessment

Its local presence service is described as access to over two hundred restricted extensions through a mix of direct and third-party relationships, operating within a controlled legal framework and in accordance with each registry's regulations. On .ca one structural fact is genuinely relevant: its Danish operating entity is a branch of a Canadian corporation, so the group already sits inside the category CIRA tests for, which is a stronger starting position than borrowing a category from a partner. None of it is turned into anything a buyer can check. There is no published extension list, no price, no statement of who becomes the registrant and no exit terms, so both .ca coverage and the whole mechanism arrive only after a sales conversation.

Restricted TLDs covered

• .au trustee comparison, with its fee, five-year total and exit terms in the table.

What is checked

Per-TLD fees and five-year totals, the contract terms on surrender and transfer, the legal entity that becomes the registrant of record in each country, non-payment behaviour, and what shows in each registry's public lookup. Figures are published only once verified against the provider's current pricing, with a date. The trust score weighs contract transparency, exit terms and holding structure ahead of price, and is not affected by affiliate arrangements because there are none.
