The Internet Computer Bureau is an Internet top-level domain custodian based in the United Kingdom. It is responsible for maintaining the .io, .sh, and .ac country code top level domains.[1]

Embroiled in controversy around its involvement in registration of .io domains associated with Diego Garcia military base following the Expulsion of the Chagossian population[2], ICB was sold by Paul Kane for $70 million in 2018[3].
