DomainGenius is an Australian-licensed domain registrar. There's a dashboard if you want to point and click, a JSON HTTP API for everything else, and an MCP server if you want an AI assistant to handle it. All three wrap the same backend, so what you can do in one, you can do in the others.

## What you get

- **Registration** across `.com`, `.com.au`, `.net`, `.org`, and the rest of the .au family.
- **DNS** on Cloudflare's edge. A/AAAA/CNAME/MX/TXT plus presets for Vercel, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and the rest of the usual suspects.
- **Transfers** in and out. EPP auth codes you actually own.
- **Marketplace** for buying parked names and listing your own.
- **Valuation, search, and traffic tools** — the same data we use to price our own portfolio.
- **Prepaid balance** with auto-top-up. No surprise card declines mid-renewal.
