ISC Participation In The Internet Community

ISC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, so it is not at all surprising that we engage in numerous activities whose purpose is to benefit the public. While our core software offerings benefit the public indirectly because they enable network operators and ISPs to support the Internet's infrastructure, we offer several programs directly to the Internet community:

  • F-Root: ISC operates one of the 13 Internet root name servers. We have operated F-Root for IANA since 1994.
  • Hosted@ISC: ISC offers free data center hosting to qualified public benefit projects.
  • Toolmakers: ISC maintains and coordinates toolmaker resources for network-operations toolmakers
  • Network Peering: ISC will peer with any network operator
  • References: We maintain focused lists various useful information relevant to our products and mission
  • Software Guild: a membership program for vendors and users of ISC's software
