Hi,

I am offering a self hosted drop system (DomainStation)

Version 1 Features Include:
Compiled Byte Code - Operating much faster than an interpreted language like PHP or Python.
Standalone - It is one self contained executable. No dependencies needed. Just a minimalist install of your chosen operating system needed.
Multi Platform - Available for Windows (More for test driving) and Linux with multiple processor types. (Linux is recommended)
.uk Option - Catch the .uk if .co.uk is selected (optional)

Features in the coming releases.
Configurable Multi Async EPP Connections
Burst Modes
Scheduling
Notifications via Email
Web Interface
Server Tools - (Get insights to your servers network speed in relation to Nominet)


I am looking for a few volunteers to test this before I release the full version. This should work for any counties registry using the EPP schema.


PM me if you have an interest.

Thanks
LAz

Thanks to all that are trying out DomainStation. I already have some good feedback for the next version in regards to feature requests that will be released very shortly.

To expand on platforms. A Raspberry Pi version will be released too as many hosts are starting to offer this as a budget option.

I will keep this thread up to date with new information.
