Project Breakdown
SPARK Helps Startup Build Domain Registrar from the Ground Up
The Challenge
The team at Vianet Management, a holding company, was frustrated by the typical experience when purchasing and managing website domains. Realizing that others likely felt the same, its team set out to build a better platform themselves–OrbitFour.
Looking for an outside team with the right expertise, they turned to local software partner SPARK to realize their vision. From the start, OrbitFour’s main goal was to build a fast, easy, and hassle-free domain registrar platform, especially for enterprises managing dozens or hundreds of their own domains.

The Solution
To build a registrar platform from scratch, both teams had to learn about the complex (and messy) backend infrastructure of domain management, and then set up several required services while remaining in compliance with ICANN requirements.
With SPARK’s team, OrbitFour was able to build its own proprietary software that includes:
- Marketing website with custom logo and branding
- Customer and administrator portals for domain registration, transfers, and management
- User payment and subscription for new domains
OrbitFour is proud to launch its own platform that provides a simplified way for users to purchase and manage domains, without the hidden fees and third-party ads often find on today’s registrars. Going forward, their team is excited to continue to scale their core product.
