Nomulus For Managing 2nd Level Subdomains

[Some Coder]

Hello.

I own a 2nd level domain, e.g. foo.bar.

I want to sell *.foo.bar subdomains to anyone interested.

Is Nomulus too much for such a small project?

Am I better to roll out my own solution?

Thank you.

Would you be selling them yourself, or making them available through registrars?  Because Nomulus is designed for the latter, and thus provides a set of standardized APIs through EPP.  It doesn't have any part of the front-end that end-user customers would hit (as that's the responsibility of registrars), and so what Nomulus provides won't be useful to you if you aren't intending on having multiple registrars being involved.

Also, is there really that big of a market for paid subdomains anyway?

Nomulus is designed to managed top-level domains. While it supports TLDs with dots (e. g. co.uk), and in theory your foo.bar domain, it still is supposed to integrate with registrars via the EPP protocol to perform transactions (registration, renewal, etc). If you are selling directly to end users, it is not really a good tool as we only have a command line tool designed for admins to perform ad-hoc tasks and no frontend for user interaction.
