PANDI | Pengelola Nama Domain Internet Indonesia

What PANDI | Pengelola Nama Domain Internet Indonesia does

PANDI (Pengelola Nama Domain Internet Indonesia) is the sole authorized registry for Indonesia's country-code top-level domain (.id), operating as a non-profit association (perkumpulan berbadan hukum) founded in 2006. The organization was re-delegated by IANA in 2013 and formally designated as the official .id registry by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) under SK Menkominfo 218/2023 and Permenkominfo 23/2013. PANDI manages a Shared Registry System (SRS) with DNS infrastructure, DNSSEC, and WHOIS/RDAP services, and operates through a multi-stakeholder governance model with representatives from government, industry, and academia. Its technical portfolio includes the IDADX (Indonesia Domain Abuse Data Exchange) platform for abuse monitoring with heuristic analysis and machine learning, the BIMA automated bot for abuse escalation, the PPND online domain dispute resolution application, and IDN support for Balinese and Javanese scripts.

PANDI does not sell directly to end users; instead it distributes .id domain registrations through a network of 24 accredited registrar companies across Indonesia. As of mid-2026 the registry counts approximately 1.5 million registered .id domains, making it the largest country-code top-level domain in Southeast Asia. Customer segments span government (.go.id), business (.co.id), education (.ac.id, .sch.id), non-profit (.or.id), individuals (.my.id, .web.id), and emerging verticals such as SMEs (UMKM) and the artificial intelligence ecosystem (.ai.id). Revenue is generated from domain registration, renewal, and restore fees (with restore fees set at 400% of standard cost during redemption), plus premium short-character domain pricing for assets such as jd.id, ef.id, and dana.id.

The company's strategic positioning combines regulatory mandate, international governance participation (IANA, ICANN, APNIC, APTLD), and an expanding product surface. Recent launches include the .ai.id domain in collaboration with KORIKA, Javanese script (Aksara Jawa) domains developed with the Yogyakarta provincial government, PPND dispute resolution, IDADX-TNN integration for global abuse mitigation, and sub-brands S.ID and U.ID for microsites and URL shortening. PANDI is also serving as local host for ICANN87 in Bali (October 2026) with expected attendance of 1,500+ participants from 150+ countries, reinforcing its role as the operational and policy anchor for Indonesia's digital identity infrastructure.

• DENIC eG: DENIC operates the .de ccTLD registry for Germany, the largest ccTLD in Europe. It is a directly comparable registry operator with similar mandate, technical infrastructure, multi-stakeholder governance, and registrar network model.
• JPRS (Japan Registry Services): JPRS operates the .jp ccTLD registry and provides registry services across the Asia Pacific region. It is a directly comparable ccTLD registry serving a major Asian economy with similar technical and policy mandates.
• NIDA (Korea Internet & Address Registry): NIDA manages the .kr ccTLD registry for South Korea. As an Asian ccTLD registry with government coordination, it is a directly comparable peer in terms of scale, mandate, and registry operations.
• Nominet UK: Nominet manages the .uk ccTLD registry and operates a comparable registry-registrar distribution model. It is similarly structured as a non-profit with public-benefit mandate, making it a strong functional peer.

Emerging players

• Identity Digital: Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) operates over 240 new gTLDs as a registry backend and registrar. It is an emerging player in the alternative-TLD space that competes with ccTLDs like .id for premium and niche registrations.

• VeriSign: VeriSign is the registry operator for .com and .net and the largest registry services provider globally. While not a ccTLD peer, it is the dominant incumbent in registry infrastructure and DNS services, providing a benchmark for scale and technology.
• CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center): CNNIC operates the .cn ccTLD, one of the world's largest ccTLD registries by volume. It is comparable in function but operates at much greater scale under government oversight, making it a broad incumbent peer in the Asian registry landscape.
