Identity Digital Maintains High-Growth Trajectory with Fifth Year on Inc. 5000

Identity Digital holds its position as a global leader in domain name management through ongoing expansion and key partnerships

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Identity Digital Inc., a leader in connecting the online world with domain names and related technologies, has earned a spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America for the fifth consecutive year. This list highlights the most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses driving innovation and growth across the United States. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

Operating the largest portfolio of top-level domains (TLDs), Identity Digital helps businesses and individuals stand out online by making it easier to use memorable, meaningful web addresses utilizing creative TLDs like .studio, .pro, .world, .lgbt, .chat, .bio, and .ai. As legacy domains become more crowded and expensive, unique domain extensions offer more branding choices, improved online visibility, boost credibility, and support better search engine optimization (SEO) results. The rising adoption of new TLDs highlights the growing demand for digital real estate that goes beyond functionality and effectively communicates a brand's identity to its audience.

“Being named on the Inc. 5000 list for a fifth year is a powerful reflection of our sustained growth as a leading registry,” said Akram Atallah, CEO of Identity Digital. “It also underscores the increasing demand by businesses, creators, and innovators for authentic digital identities in today’s connected world. At Identity Digital, we deliver the modern domain solutions that make this possible. As the internet continues to evolve, we remain committed to driving innovation, expanding global access, and making domain management smarter and more seamless for everyone.”

Over the past year, Identity Digital has strengthened its position at the forefront of the domain industry by becoming the technical operator of .ai, an increasingly critical top-level domain as businesses across sectors accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. Identity Digital’s cutting edge registry services platform has enabled more than 60% year over year growth in .ai and brought enhanced security, scalability and resilience to the top-level domain (TLD).

The company also secured new strategic partnerships with LinkedIn Premium, Gravatar, OneFootball powered by D3, Lnk.Bio and Bitly, bringing personalized online identities to millions of users on trusted SaaS platforms. These alliances were announced following the launch of an enhanced Domain Engine search tool, featuring new AI capabilities and expanded API functionality to deliver smarter, more personalized domain experiences for creators worldwide. Identity Digital also joined the Shadowserver Foundation’s Alliance, a leading cybersecurity foundation dedicated to making the internet more secure. This unites Identity Digital's deep domain management expertise with Shadowserver's extensive internet security intelligence and investigation capabilities.

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
