Testing environment for InternetNZ .nz domain names. This is not a real registry - just for fun and testing only.
A non-production environment for experimenting with the .nz EPP protocol.
This EPP Test Server is a fully simulated registry system that allows developers, students, and technical professionals to test how the InternetNZ .nz domain namespace operates at the EPP level.
It behaves similarly to the production InternetNZ EPP service, but without the restrictions or risks associated with interacting with real domain data. Everything here is for testing only.
InternetNZ does not provide a public, open EPP training environment where users can freely create registrars, manage domains, or test transfers between registrars. This platform was created to help people:
✔ Create multiple registrars under a single account
✔ Manage domains, contacts, logs, and poll messages
✔ Simulate UDAI generation and transfer flows
✔ Full XML request/response inspection
✔ REST API for registrar control and automation
✔ EPP over TCP (port 700) using standard XML commands
This platform was developed by Andrew Munsey in New Zealand. Andrew has over 25 years of experience in software development, working across New Zealand and Southeast Asia on a wide range of systems, infrastructure, and custom applications.
The EPP Test Server was created for educational and development use, helping anyone who wants to better understand the EPP protocol, domain registry systems, registrar operations, or .nz domain workflows.
This system is not associated with InternetNZ. Domains created here are not real and have no effect on any real registry. All data stored in this environment is for temporary and testing purposes only.
