Connecting people across the World Wide Web
Making all Top Level Domains available

‘keep it smart and simple’

In order to build a smart and simple product, you often need to fix a complex challenge. Metaregistrar consists of a small team of highly skilled developers in the field of domain name portfolio management and domain name services. The idea was to make as many Top Level Domains (TLDs) available for customers to register. The reality is that for every TLD, and currently there are around 1.200, a unique set-up and protocol is required to make it run. With Metaregistrar this process is highly automated and efficiently handled. The knowledge of this team has been a back-bone for the Mijndomein operation. For instance, the super fast domain checker of Mijndomein is operated by Metaregistrar. Also, Metaregistrar acts as a wholesale unit for large customers such as governments, brands and resellers.

The expertise of Metaregistrar also came in handy when we engaged in a new adventure by launching our own domain extensions; puntFRL and dotAmsterdam. You can read about this in some of our other ideas.

We are a group of colleagues, brands, members and investors with a shared interest. Making more impact on society with less impact on the environment.

We’re round and square

If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got. But there are other ways. Putting impact first. Providing fresh perspectives. Changing the status quo. Are you with us?
