Is it possible to integrate some domain registration service into aegir?
I found this module which may help. http://drupal.org/project/registrar_api
Usecase:
1)Client comes to the site, searches for domain name, If available adds the domain name to cart via ubercart module
2)Client will browse for hosting packages, selects one and adds to cart
3)proceeds to checkout
4)drupal site will be created at chosen domain name and email will be sent with access details

My solution to this was to abstract my front-end (Client Portal) from Aegir entirely. This did a couple things:
1. Secures your Aegir site from any mishaps if you wish to redesign the UI, plus more freedom with the themes.
2. Allows plugging in additional services of all kinds. This includes Domain Registrars. So far I have not finished this step with DNS purchasing, but i will be working on it with in the coming weeks as part of my self-service tool

Thanks cmcintosh.
please keep us updated with your progress.
I strongly feel an integration module between aegir and Registrar API is required to ease this process.
I guess there are lot of users like me in need for similar kind of integration with DNS purchasing.
