Partnership
Become a .site.ink registrar
Sell .site.ink domains to your customers — individuals, small businesses, and users of digital platforms. Registrars connect directly to the registry over EPP with prepaid wholesale pricing.
A clear market
Short names on a new extension are still widely available. Easy to bundle with hosting, site builders, link-in-bio, and email services.
Standard integration
EPP (RFC 5730–5734) over mutual TLS, plus a REST API and webhooks. If you already connect to other registries, adapting is minimal.
Prepaid & transparent
Your deposit balance is debited per transaction. Billing in IDR or USD, with VAT according to your tax status.

Accreditation flow
From application to first registration
Step 1
Express interest
Send your company profile to registrar@domain.site.ink. We reply with an application form and a draft Registry–Registrar Agreement (RRA).
Step 2
Verification & agreement
We review your company documents. Once the RRA is signed, the registry creates your accounts in the OT&E and production environments with the same registrar code.
Step 3
Complete your profile
Sign in to the registrar console, enable MFA (TOTP), then add your abuse contact, emergency contacts, tax ID, website, WHOIS server, and RDAP URL.
Step 4
OT&E certification
Register your EPP client certificate in OT&E and run the test checklist: session & TLS, contacts, hosts, domain create/renew/transfer/delete/restore, secDNS, fee, poll, and idempotency.
Step 5
Production & deposit
Once you pass, the registry creates your production EPP account. Register your production certificate, check the IP allowlist, then make your initial prepaid deposit.
Step 6
Live & listed
The registry activates your account. Your name and registration link appear on the registrar page of this site, and you can make your first registration.

Registrar FAQ
How long does accreditation take?
It depends on how ready your systems are. Registrars with an existing EPP client usually complete OT&E certification within days of receiving access.
Are there pricing tiers?
Yes. All registrars start at the standard tier; higher tiers are assigned by volume as set out in the RRA.
Can a hosting provider or digital platform become a registrar?
Yes, as long as it meets the requirements above. Alternatively, a platform can partner as a reseller of an active registrar.
What about ICANN-accredited registrars?
ICANN accreditation is not required. If you have an IANA Registrar ID, add it to your profile so it appears in RDAP and WHOIS.
