Many domain firms have multiple accreditations and I’ve tried to capture the largest ones. See the notes below and let me know if I’ve missed any sizable registrars.

* Includes GoDaddy and Wild West Domains
** Includes Tucows and Enom
+ Includes PDR, Domain.com, FastDomain and Bigrock. There are other Endurance registrars, but I believe these are the biggest
++ Includes Network Solutions and Register.com
