PHP Website for 'COSMOTOWN' – Global Domain Name Registrar

Client Brief

Cosmotown.com is a global domain name registrar focused on simplifying domain management for businesses and individuals worldwide. The platform was already functional in its web version, and our responsibility was to create a mobile-friendly version that maintained the same core features and usability. The client aimed to provide users with convenient access to domain registration, transfer, and related services on mobile devices. The mobile version needed to replicate the web experience while ensuring fast access to account information, domain settings, and purchase options. The focus was on creating a consistent and smooth experience for users accessing the website through smartphones and tablets.

Our Endeavor

Our team worked on building a mobile version of Cosmotown.com that allowed users to perform all domain-related activities with ease. The site offers features like domain registration, transfer, renewal, and domain parking or forwarding. It automatically displays location-based information by detecting the IP address of the user. This allows visitors to view country-specific data and services without manual selection, enhancing the browsing experience.

To handle user verification securely, we implemented a two-step authentication system using Twilio API. This feature helps users verify their identity before completing actions like domain registration or transfers. It adds an additional layer of safety to the process and ensures that only authorized users can manage domains linked to their accounts.

Users can also access detailed records of their registered domains. The platform includes an option to view domain history and even cancel a domain if needed. Every function was optimized to be easily accessible from mobile devices without losing any of the web version’s core features or responsiveness.

The mobile version was developed using Core PHP as the main technology, maintaining consistency with the existing web platform. To integrate essential functionalities, we used Reseller API, EPP API, and Twilio API. These APIs were crucial for domain management, communication, and system synchronization between the web and mobile versions.

We also integrated PayPal as a secure payment gateway to enable smooth financial transactions. This allowed users to complete purchases or renewals quickly without leaving the site. Every feature was built and tested carefully to ensure compatibility across various mobile devices and screen sizes.

Throughout the project, our goal was to maintain the simplicity of the desktop version while optimizing for smaller screens. The development process focused on creating a user-friendly interface, smooth navigation, and quick loading times. The final result was a fully functional, mobile-optimized version of Cosmotown.com that supported all the core services users expect from the platform.
