Address:  | Project GoalsThe goal of this project is to create domain name registry/registrar software platform that includes toolkit necessary for domain name registration system deployment. The software is published under GPL license. We hope that this software will be useful in Ukraine and around the world. Used Standards and Open Source ProductsShort GlossaryRegistry: A domain name registry is a part of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet which converts domain names to IP addresses. It is an organisation which manages the registration of Domain names within the top-level domains for which it is responsible, controls the policies of domain name allocation, and technically operates its top-level domain. Registrar: A domain name registrar is a company accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and/or by a national ccTLD authority to register Internet domain names. Registrant: The person or entity that owns the domain name according to the records of the Registrar. Registrant has a freedom of choice and can change the Registrar at any moment by transferring to another Registrar. SRS: A Shared Registry System is a protocol and associated software supporting a system that permits multiple registrars to provide registration and maintenance services of Internet domain names. The purpose of the SRS is to create an environment conducive to the development of robust competition among domain name registrars. EPP: The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) is a modern protocol designed for communication between domain name registry and registrars. The EPP protocol is based on XML - a structured, text-based format. The underlying network transport is not fixed, although the only currently specified method is over TCP. Today the protocol has been adopted by a number of domain name registries, such as .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, .au, .br, .eu, .pl, .kz and others. | |||
