Hover is an Internet domain name registration service. Hover is a division of Tucows Incorporated, the second largest ICANN-accredited domain registrar in the world, now that they've purchased eNom, only behind GoDaddy.[2]

History

Hover was founded in July 2008 by Tucows Inc. after deciding to merge the three domain registration services they already owned, NetIdentity, It's Your Domain (IYD), and Domain Direct.[3]

Business

Hover is using the Tucows wholesale reseller services provided by OpenSRS as its foundation. Hover has removed their automated answering system from their customer support lines so that customers only have to deal with a person rather than a machine.[4]
