Takingnames.io Beta – The first domain name provider for self-hosters

What it does

We are stoked to announce the launch of the TakingNames.io open beta. TakingNames.io is the first domain name provider built especially for self-hosters. In the process, we aim to lower the barrier of entry for self-hosting and make data ownership accessible to more people. We want to make buying and using a domain name as simple as having a phone number. At launch, TakingNames.io provides the following core functionality: Simple web UI for finding, purchasing, and managing domains.
