Following the sale of its authentication services division in 2010, Verisign relocated from its former headquarters in Mountain View, California, to the headquarters of the naming division in [[Sterling, Virginia]] (originally NSI Registry's headquarters). Verisign began shopping that year for a new permanent home shortly after moving. They signed a lease for 12061 Bluemont Way in [[Reston, Virginia|Reston]], the former [[Sallie Mae]] headquarters, in 2010 and decided to purchase the building in September 2011. They have since terminated their lease of their current space in two buildings at Lakeside@Loudoun Technology Center.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/blog/2010/09/verisign_inc_terminates_loudoun_lease_for_reston_move.html |access-date=2024-11-06 |website=Washington Business Journal}}</ref> The company completed its move at the end of November 2011. The new headquarters is located in the [[Reston Town Center]] development which has become a major commercial and business hub for the region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=VeriSign Acquires Reston Office for $118M |url=https://www.globest.com/2011/09/08/verisign-acquires-reston-office-for-118m/?slreturn=2024110640622 |access-date=2024-11-06 |website=benefitspro.com |language=en}}</ref> In addition to its Reston headquarters, Verisign owns three data center properties. One at 22340 Dresden Street in Dulles, Virginia, not far from its corporate headquarters (within the large Broad Run Technology Park), one at 21 Boulden Circle in New Castle, Delaware, and a third in Fribourg, Switzerland. Their three data centers are mirrored so that a disaster at one data center has a minimal impact on operations. Verisign also leases an office suite in downtown Washington, D.C., on K street where its government relations office is located. It also has leased server space in numerous internet data centers around the world where the DNS constellation resolution sites are located, mostly at major internet peering facilities. One such facility is at the [[Equinix]] Ashburn Datacenter in [[Ashburn, Virginia]], one of the world's largest datacenters and internet transit hubs.
