Frequently asked questions
Is Instra ICANN-accredited?
Yes. Instra is on the ICANN list of accredited registrars, so it can register generic extensions such as .com directly with the registries.
What is Instra's IANA ID?
1376. The IANA registrar ID appears in the registrar field of a domain's public record, so it shows which registrar a domain is with.
What other names does Instra operate under?
Its accreditations are also held as Instra Corporation Pty Ltd.. Domains registered through any of them can show those names as the registrar.
Does Instra have an API?
Not one that account holders can use. API credentials come from Instra for reseller billing integrations; no public customer docs found. Instra domains come into Lemon Domains by paste or CSV import instead.
