Introducing Espresso!
Espresso is Minds + Machines’ versatile, powerful, full-featured registry platform for new gTLDs. Espresso provides everything a new TLD applicant needs, and it comes with the expertise of some of the domain name industry’s top experts, ready to help with all aspects of your new top-level domain. Espresso is closely based on the CoCCA platform, deployed by over 20 country-code top-level domains (and growing). Espresso, thanks to its CoCCA roots, is already integrated with over 150 ICANN registrars, including among them most of the top tier providers in the industry.
CoCCA is well known for its ease of use, customer-first attitude, and reasonable price. Espresso carries that tradition to the gTLD namespace with enhancements that are designed to meet or exceed the requirements for gTLDs.
