Niver

Niver is a set of 3 network services:

• Public suffix registry
• Nameserver
• Static HTTP site hosting

Demo

https://niver.4.niv.re/

Status

I plan to create and maintain a public stable instance of Niver, but I haven't done so yet. Thus Niver is not yet tested with real world and long-term usages, and is alpha software.

Detailed features

Public suffix registry (reg)

• Register a subdomain of the registry
• Set domain's nameservers
• Set a DS record to enable DNSSEC
• Set Glue records
• Display your records

Nameserver (ns)

• Host a zone on the server
• Zone file edition through <textarea>
• Dedicated forms to set/unset A, AAAA, NS, TXT, CAA, SRV, MX, SRV, SSHFP, TLSA, CNAME, DNAME and LOC records
• Display your records or the full zone file

HTTP hosting (ht)

• Upload your site's files using SFTP
• Host a static site with a domain name and a Let's Encrypt certificate
• Host a static site with an Onion service (through Tor)
