NameOcean is a domain registrar and hosting platform built for the way developers work now: from the terminal, from CI, and increasingly through an AI assistant.
What's new
Most registrars give you a dashboard and maybe an API bolted on later. NameOcean starts from code:
- MCP server for your AI. One command connects Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client. Then just say "point kahvebot.com to 203.0.113.10 and get it a certificate" and it's done.
- Safe by design. The MCP server has no tool that registers, renews or pays. Your AI can manage your infrastructure, but it can never spend your money.
- A real CLI. One static binary for macOS, Linux and Windows:
brew install nameocean/tap/nameocean, thennameocean dns add,nameocean ssl issue --wait. - Full REST API. Check, register, renew, lock and transfer domains; manage DNS records; issue wildcard SSL; change nameservers; open ports and bind domains to app servers.
Included with every domain
Free SSL, DNS hosting and WHOIS privacy, at no extra cost.
Who it's for
- Developers and indie hackers who want to ship a side project without clicking through five dashboards.
- Teams using AI coding agents who want them to handle DNS and certificates without a credit card in reach.
- Small businesses that want domain, email and hosting at one price for one year, with no 3-year lock-ins or surprise renewals.
Why support us
NameOcean is built and run by a small independent team on our own infrastructure. We're not a reseller front-end, and we're not owned by a hosting conglomerate. If you think registrars should be scriptable, honest about pricing, and safe to hand to an AI, your vote helps more people find us.
