The First AI-Native Domain Platform: Introducing the New name.com API

By Sammy Ahmed, General Manager at name.com

At name.com, we’ve always been committed to simplifying the complex world of domains. Today, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting leap forward: the launch of the new name.com API, our AI-native platform that modernizes domains for the age of agentic AI. This isn’t just an update, it is a fundamental shift in how businesses and innovators are able to interact with the internet’s underlying framework.

As the first registrar to bring together intelligent domain capabilities and seamless integration for AI agents such as Claude to market, name.com is redefining how domains function in an AI-first world. This is made possible because our platform is supported by modern standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OpenAPI specification, which enable AI agents to interact directly with domain operations. Simply tell an AI agent what you want, and it delivers what you envision—turning your ideas into brands and apps.

The Challenge: Domains Stuck in the Past

For too long, domain platforms have remained static with clunky interfaces, rigid APIs, and outdated assumptions about how people search, register, and manage domains. It hasn’t kept pace with the evolution of modern development workflows or the shift toward AI-first experiences.

The digital landscape is changing at unprecedented speed, driven by the explosive growth of generative AI. AI agents are no longer a futuristic concept; they are becoming integral to how we create, code, and communicate. As generative AI rapidly reshapes these processes, it’s opening the door to a new class of entrepreneurs: aesthetic coders, vibe builders, and solo entrepreneurs who prioritize fluid, intuitive, and highly personalized digital experiences.

The Solution: An AI-Native Foundation for Digital Growth

Recognizing this critical shift, we rebuilt the name.com API as a truly AI-native platform. This innovative foundation directly addresses the limitations of traditional systems by enabling AI agents to interact directly with domain operations through simple, natural language prompts.

Imagine telling an AI agent to “add domain registration to my app” and that AI agent, using our API, generates working code that understands your context and manages the necessary domain operations. It essentially empowers you to turn your ideas into apps with natural language. This transforms domain complexity into simplicity, accelerating your journey from concept to commerce.

Our recent customer survey underscores this demand: a remarkable 91% of respondents envision AI agents handling at least some of their domain management in the next two years, with 88% finding value in using natural language commands for domain tasks. The future is here, and name.com is leading the way.

Why Now? Unlocking Strategic Growth

This launch isn’t just about technology; it’s about unlocking strategic growth and competitive advantage for a new generation of businesses and creators. Whether you’re a seasoned enterprise, a dynamic startup, or a solo entrepreneur, the name.com API offers unparalleled advantages:

Our AI-native approach empowers you to instantly establish an online presence and turn a business idea into a live digital identity with the help of generative AI and intuitive chat-based interfaces. This opens the door to entirely new business models, enabling you to build domain marketplaces in hours, automatically set up domains for new client projects, and create powerful portfolio management tools with unprecedented ease.

Accelerate Product Development

Reclaim your team’s time. Our clear documentation and AI-friendly tools mean faster integration and reduced maintenance, allowing your developers to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure. New builds or migrations, which once took months, can now be completed in days or weeks.

The name.com API provides the simplest path to driving revenue from reselling domains. With transparent, volume-based pricing and the ability to set your own markups, you can improve customer lifetime value (LTV) through renewals, upsells, and cross-sells. For enterprise partners, we offer customizable pricing and dedicated support to help you scale.

How It Works: Simple, Fast, and Transparent

We’ve designed the name.com API to make domain integration remarkably simple, fast, and transparent, ensuring anyone can harness its power:
