Network Solutions Wins Gold Stevie® Award for Internet/New Media Company of the Year
Recognized for transformation and growth benefiting entrepreneurs
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Aug 13, 2026: Network Solutions, a leading provider of web presence solutions, announced today that it has been named a Gold Stevie Award winner in the Internet/New Media Company of the Year category in The 2026 International Business Awards® (IBA), presented by the Stevie Awards.
The IBAs are conducted annually by the Stevie Awards and are considered among the world’s premier business awards programs. This year’s competition drew thousands of nominations from organizations around the globe, evaluated by an international panel of judges. Gold Stevie Award winners are the highest-scoring qualifying entries in their category.
The winning entry highlighted Network Solutions’ transformation since 2024 from a traditional domain registrar into an AI-powered digital presence platform. It detailed the launch of a modern customer portal and a growing portfolio of AI-powered tools that help entrepreneurs establish their identity, build their online presence and grow their businesses. The entry also demonstrated measurable customer adoption, including stronger checkout progression through the company’s AI Domain Generator compared with traditional domain search.
“This recognition is really about the entrepreneurs we serve. Every day, business owners are using Network Solutions to turn an idea into a credible online presence faster and more easily than ever before. That is what AI makes possible when it is built around the customer rather than around technology alone. Network Solutions has earned the trust of entrepreneurs for more than four decades, and this award is meaningful validation that we’re delivering on that trust in a new way,” said Sachin Puri, CEO, Network Solutions Group.
As a Gold Stevie winner, Network Solutions is eligible for the additional People's Choice Stevie Award for Favorite Companies. Beginning Aug. 13 and running through Sept. 11, 2026, the public can vote for their favorite Stevie-winning companies.
