How it works

Claim, configure, go live

Here is what happens from search to a resolving record.

  1. 01

    Search a name

    Type a label and see availability across every open root domain instantly.

  2. 02

    Claim it

    Sign up, verify your email, and the hostname is atomically reserved for your account.

  3. 03

    Add records

    Point it at your server, CDN or mail provider from the DNS editor or the API.

  4. 04

    Go live

    Changes are pushed to the authoritative DNS provider and tracked until confirmed.

Record lifecycle

Nothing is reported live until it is

Every DNS change is a tracked job. Temporary provider errors retry with exponential backoff; permanent errors are surfaced on the record so you can fix and retry.

pending
Saved and queued. The change has not reached DNS yet.
active
The DNS provider confirmed the change. Resolvers pick it up as caches expire.
failed
The provider rejected the change or stayed unreachable after retries. The error is shown on the record.
deleting
Removal is queued and will be confirmed by the provider.
