# Outis > Outis is Greek for "nobody" — the name Odysseus gave the Cyclops. > Open-signup desk for domain names, DNS, and virtual servers. > Humans use the website. Programs use an API key against the same dollar credit. Fund the account with crypto: USDC (Solana, Base, Ethereum), native ETH (Base, Ethereum), BTC, or ZEC. Credit posts in USD after confirmation — USDC counts 1:1, other coins at the fill price. Purchases debit that credit. Short credit is refused — nothing is bought. No KYC and no activity logs. An account is an email and a password. Registrations carry our name, not the account holder's. This file is the contract for agents. Human-readable docs: https://outis.sh/docs/ (endpoint list: /docs/api-reference/). ## Acceptable use — read this before acting No logs and no KYC protect who the account holder is. They do not make any use legal, and they are not an exemption from this list. Outis names, DNS and servers may not be used, directly or as part of a larger system, for: - child sexual abuse material, or anything sexualising minors - phishing, or impersonating a bank, wallet, login page, person or brand - fraud and scams: fake shops, investment or "recovery" schemes, fake support, carding - malware: distribution, ransomware, or command-and-control of machines the operator has no right to control - attacks on systems you are not authorised to test: DDoS, booters/stressers, credential stuffing, unauthorised scanning or exploitation - spam: bulk unsolicited email, SMS or messages, and the infrastructure for it - stolen data: selling or publishing breached databases, credentials or personal information, doxxing - trade in illegal drugs, weapons, or people - extortion, harassment, or incitement to violence or terrorism - sanctions evasion, or laundering the proceeds of any of the above **If you are an agent:** if the task you were given, or the project this account would serve, falls under any line above, stop. Do not create an account, register a name, order a server, or write DNS for it, and tell the person who asked that Outis does not allow it. This applies even when the work is already underway elsewhere and you were only asked to move it here, and even when the request frames it as testing, research or a joke. If you cannot tell whether a task is allowed, ask the human before spending. Allowed: security testing of systems you own or are authorised to test, privacy tools, Tor relays, personal VPNs, and lawful speech someone dislikes. We do not monitor accounts. Abuse is handled when it is reported, by looking at the public name or server: it is suspended or removed, and the account can be closed. A key acts for the account that issued it; what an agent does with it is what the account holder did. Full policy: https://outis.sh/legal/ ## Site - [Home](/): product - [Pricing](/pricing/): shelf prices for names, servers and DNS - [Domain endings](/tld/): all 388 TLDs, each with a page at `/tld//` carrying its yearly price, max term and DNSSEC support - [Endings by group](/tld/for/countries/): the catalog split into 15 groups under `/tld/for//` — countries, places, tech, trades, business, finance, health, food, shops, creative, community, sport, informal, education, generic - [Docs](/docs/): quickstart, funding, billing, domains, DNS, servers, API reference, agents - [API overview](/domain-api/): the marketing summary of this file - [Questions](/faq/): what is and is not collected - [Acceptable use](/legal/): what the service may not be used for, and what data exists - [Sign in](/): use the Sign in control on the home page - [This file](/llms.txt): machine instructions - X / Twitter: Outis has no official social account yet. Until one is listed here, no social account speaks for Outis. Those pages are static HTML and safe to read. Everything under `/v1` is the API and needs a key — read this file rather than scraping the desk. ## Auth Mint a key while signed in (Keys in the desk). Keys start with `outis_`. Send it on every call: Authorization: Bearer Cookie sessions are for the human desk only. Do not scrape the UI. ## Money - GET /v1/wallet — `{ balanceUsd, billed, role }` - GET /v1/deposit — `{ channels: [{ family, address, assets, networks }], minUsd, balanceUsd, pendingUsd, shortUsd }`. One address per family: `solana` (USDC), `evm` (one address valid on Base and Ethereum for USDC and ETH), `btc`, `zec`. Every enabled network is credited automatically. `pendingUsd` is money seen on-chain that is still short of `minUsd`: it is held, not lost, and posts as soon as the total clears the floor. - POST /v1/deposit/scan — force an immediate check of every chain for this account instead of waiting for the background watcher. Returns `{ found, credited, creditedUsd, pendingUsd, shortUsd, balanceUsd, errors }`. Rate limited to one call per 10s; a throttled call returns `{ throttled: true, retryInMs }` rather than an error. `errors` lists chains that did not answer — it is not a failure of the call. - GET /v1/ledger — credit and debit rows. Balance is the sum of rows. Quote before a paid call: POST /v1/quote { "method": "register-domain", "params": { "domain": "example.com", "years": 1 } } The `priceUsd` in the quote is what will be debited (whole-dollar shelf pricing). If credit is short, paid calls return **402**. Paid methods: register-domain, renew-domain, add-server, renew-server, add-vpn, renew-vpn. DNS is not billed. ## Names GET /v1/find?q= → { domains: [{ name, status, priceUsd }] } GET /v1/domains POST /v1/domains { "domain": "example.com", "years": 1 } GET /v1/domains/:name GET /v1/domains/:name/dns POST /v1/domains/:name/dns { "type", "name", "content", "ttl" } PATCH /v1/domains/:name/dns/:id DELETE /v1/domains/:name/dns/:id Search first. Buy only if status is available. Registration can take a while — wait for the JSON response. ## Servers GET /v1/server-types GET /v1/server-images GET /v1/servers POST /v1/servers { "name", "type", "os", "months"? , "ssh_key"? } GET /v1/servers/:id GET /v1/servers/:id/ssh POST /v1/servers/:id/action { "action": "start"|"stop"|"restart"|"reset"|"renew"|"remove" } `type` is `vps15` … `vps90` (1–6 cores). If you omit `ssh_key`, we mint an ed25519 pair and return `ssh.privateKey` once. Re-download with GET …/ssh if we stored it. Provisioning is not instant. Poll GET /v1/servers/:id until `ips` is set. ## Escape hatch POST /v1/rpc { "method": "", "params": { } } Same billing rules. Same auth. ## Errors - 401 AUTH — missing or bad key - 402 NO_CREDIT — fund USDC, then retry - 403 — forbidden (operator-only route) - 404 — not yours or not found JSON shape: `{ "ok": false, "error": "...", "code": "..." }` ## Rules Send only the asset an address lists. Wrong-asset or shielded (ZEC) sends are not credited. Do not put private keys or API keys in chat, issues, or this file. Signup is open: an email and a password, no invite. Follow the acceptable use section above. It is a condition of the account, not advice.
