Solis Corporation (Japan Registry(TM)) ( <a href="http://www.japanregistry.com">http://www.japanregistry.com</a> ), the leading reseller of Internet infrastructure products and services in Japan, today announced that it has received full registrar accreditation from ICANN (International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), a leading Internet governing body, responsible for the Domain Name System (DNS).

Solis is now fully accredited to directly sell gTLD domain extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG to its customers, and more importantly, receives a major boost to its position as a leader in Japanese Internet infrastructure.

ICANN accreditation is globally recognised as a critical and fundamental business component for companies in the online infrastructure space. It is a seal of approval stating that a company has satisfactorily developed and designed its systems and services to a global standard of excellence. With very few Japanese companies having received this distinction, Solis now joins the ranks of major industry players around the world that can directly sell domains from VeriSign and other gTLD domain registries.

Japan Registry's President, Darshaun Nadeau, expressed the significance of this achievement for the company: "By proving that we have built a company which meets international levels of excellence, we feel confident that we can solidify our standing in the Japanese marketplace. As the online Japanese market grows and increases in sophistication we will be able to compete at the top."

Solis has already built an enviable web of partnerships with leading companies both in Japan and around the world. It provides a full set of Internet infrastructure services to the largest Internet service providers (ISPs) in Japan, and sells .JP domains to several leading global ICANN accredited registrars who resell them to their client networks.

Solis also recently announced the signing of a strategic partnership with Tucows Inc., the world's largest wholesale domain reseller. Solis is the primary point of distribution for Tucows' suite of Internet services within Japan. Tucows is a leading wholesaler of Internet services with a distribution channel of more than 6,000 Internet service providers (ISPs), web hosting companies and other service providers worldwide.
