# Namingo FAQ

Welcome to the FAQ for Namingo. This document is intended as a resource for registries to share with their registrars, providing answers to common questions and guidance on managing registrar accounts.

## General Information

- **Configuration Access**: All configurations of a registrar account are managed via the control panel. Registrars can choose to manage their customers through the panel or via EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol).
- **SSL Requirement**: Access to the registry requires an SSL certificate. Any valid SSL certificate will work.

## Tools and Modules

- **EPP Client**: We provide an EPP client in PHP available at [Tembo EPP Client](https://github.com/getpinga/tembo).
- **WHMCS Module**: For integration with WHMCS, use our module available at [WHMCS EPP RFC](https://github.com/getpinga/whmcs-epp-rfc).
- **FOSSBilling Module**: For FOSSBilling integration, refer to [FOSSBilling EPP RFC](https://github.com/getpinga/fossbilling-epp-rfc).
