🪶 Registrar & Namespace Management Platform
Shining transforms any domain into an open, programmable namespace. Domain owners become Registers with full pricing control. Anyone becomes a Claimer with an instant identity.
Add any root domain you own to the global Shining pool. Configure exactly who can claim names, how much they pay, which DNS record types are permitted, and whether claims need manual approval.
Browse the global pool of open domains and register a name that's yours. Add DNS records, point it anywhere, and optionally buy it permanently. You can also hook in any external domain you already own.
Pricing Models
Registers choose how their domain is monetised. The platform floor price sits around $6, matching Cloudflare's raw registration cost.
No cost to claim. Perfect for community namespaces, open projects, and developer sandboxes.
A flat fee per claim regardless of volume. Simple, predictable, and easy to communicate.
Price shifts based on how many names a claimer already owns under this domain. Volume discounts or premiums.
Claimers pay a recurring subscription that unlocks access to names across your domain pool.
One-time permanent buyout. The claimer pays once and owns the name forever. No renewals.
How it works
Authenticate via Google or Email. Choose the Register role on first login.
Enter your domain, set pricing, allowed record types, and whether claims need approval.
Any signed-in user can see available domains, pricing, and constraints in the claim panel.
They pick a name, pay if required, and wait for approval or go live immediately.
The claimer adds A, CNAME, MX, TXT, or any allowed record type. Traffic routes instantly.
If the Register enabled it, the zone exports to a standardised JSON schema third-party tools can read and verify.
Public DNS Directory
When a Register toggles publicDnsList on their domain, Shining automatically exports the entire zone configuration into a standardised JSON schema. Cloudflare, infrastructure automation tools, and secondary DNS verifiers can fetch and import it directly.
Every claim, every record type, every TTL — structured and always in sync.
