THE .AM REGISTRY GATEWAY

.am now speaks EPP.

The first fully standards-compliant registry gateway for the .am zone — EPP over mutual TLS, WHOIS, and .am's first RDAP. Direct to the registry. $24.00 a year. Transfers free.

THE ZONE

Two letters. Globally open. Barely distributed.

.am is one of the shortest brand surfaces on the internet — open to anyone, no local presence required. Radio and audio built a culture on it, and a worldwide diaspora keeps it personal. Yet most of the world's registrars still can't sell it.

Until now, the zone had no open, standards-compliant EPP. Offering .am meant proprietary interfaces and one-off workarounds — so most platforms never did. The gateway changes that: the protocols your stack already speaks, pointed at .am.

Don't take the page's word for it.

epp.name.am:700EPP · mutual TLS

Client certificates are exchanged at onboarding — the port answers to registrars, not browsers.

openssl s_client -connect epp.name.am:700 -servername epp.name.am

whois.name.am:43WHOIS · RFC 3912

Port 43, plain and public. The classic query the whole internet still speaks.

HOW IT'S BUILT

Built the way a registry should be.

your platform──EPP:700──▶gateway──▶AMNIC

Registrant-first.

Domains are registered to the registrant on record — your customer. Always.

Strict by default.

Every inbound frame is validated against the canonical RFC XSDs. Malformed XML gets a clean 2001, not a mystery.

Accountable.

Charge-before-registry, refund-on-failure billing. Every operation lands in an append-only ledger you can export.

Self-service console with balance, ledger, and card refills —console.registry.name.am.

PRICING

$24.00 a year. The whole pricing page.

register: $24.00 / yr
renew: $24.00 / yr
transfer: Free

Most registrars retail .am at $50 to $110 a year. At $24.00 wholesale, that spread is your margin — far wider than you keep on .com.

One wholesale price for registration and renewal. 1–5 year terms, transfers always free. No setup fee, no minimums, no tiers. Prepaid balance in USD, card refills, and a ledger you can export.

ONBOARDING

Four steps. Days, not months.

01
Say hello.
Email registry@name.am with your registrar details. A human replies.
02
Exchange credentials.
You receive EPP credentials; we exchange mutual-TLS certificates and allowlist your IPs.
03
Prove the integration.
Run your stack against the OT&E sandbox — register, renew, transfer, poll.
04
Go live.
Fund your balance, flip the endpoint, sell .am.
