Namingo is an open-source ecosystem for building and operating modern domain name infrastructure.

The project covers both sides of the domain lifecycle:

• Registry infrastructure for ccTLDs, gTLDs, brand TLDs, and private registries.
• Registrar infrastructure for ICANN-accredited registrars.
• EPP tooling for registry integrations, OT&E, development, and automation.
• Billing integrations for platforms such as FOSSBilling and WHMCS.
• DNS and operational tooling for registry and registrar environments.
• Migration, onboarding, validation, monitoring, and compliance utilities for real-world domain operations.

Namingo is designed to be standards-based, modular, auditable, and under the operator's control.

Namingo Registry provides the core services needed to operate a modern domain registry.

Highlights include:

• EPP server
• RDAP and WHOIS
• Domain Availability Service
• Registry and registrar control panels
• DNS and DNSSEC integration
• MariaDB and PostgreSQL support
• Data escrow
• ICANN reporting
• Registrar management and billing
• Abuse monitoring
• Domain lifecycle automation
• TMCH and URS processing
• Contact validation
• Registry APIs and automation
• GDPR and NIS2-oriented operational features

Namingo Registry has been successfully tested against ICANN Registry System Testing (RST) v2.0 OT&E for the 2026 New gTLD Program.

Namingo exists to make serious domain infrastructure available without locking operators into opaque or proprietary stacks.

We aim for software that is:

• Open source
• Standards based
• Operator controlled
• Simple to audit
• Practical to deploy
• Modular and extensible
• Suitable for real registry and registrar operations

The goal is not merely to provide isolated tools, but a coherent toolbox for organizations building and operating domain name services.

Namingo is developed in the open.

Contributions are welcome across code, documentation, testing, registry integrations, translations, operational tooling, and standards support.
