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 based on the CoCCA platform, deployed by over 30 country-code top-level domains (and growing). Espresso, thanks to its CoCCA roots, is already integrated with over 200 ICANN registrars, including 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.
