produced by human, not by AI

An application for multi-tenant domain services (registry, registrar, zone management, and more) built with Ruby on Rails, open source and forever free.

This powers the obl.ong domain registry, which provides free, quality domains for all.

Built by Obl.ong, a membership-first nonprofit -- we encourage contributions!
