This quickstart takes you from a fresh Stackryze account to a fully delegated domain with live DNS records. Most people finish in under five minutes.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must have:

  • A free Stackryze account
  • A domain you own (or one of the free subdomains Stackryze Domains provides)
  • Five minutes

Get started

Sign up at [dns.stackryze.com](https://dns.stackryze.com/signup). You can use email or your existing GitHub account. From the dashboard, click **Add Domain**, then enter the apex (for example `example.com`). Stackryze will create an empty zone and give you the nameservers to delegate to. At your domain registrar, set the nameservers to the four Stackryze nameservers we provide: 
```text
ns1.stackryze.com
ns2.stackryze.com
ns3.stackryze.com
ns4.stackryze.com
```

Propagation typically completes within 30 minutes.
Open the zone and add the records you need — `A`, `AAAA`, `CNAME`, `MX`, `TXT`, plus modern record types like `SVCB`, `HTTPS`, and `TLSA`. 
<Tip>
  Save your records as a draft first — Stackryze validates the whole zone before publishing so syntax mistakes never go live.
</Tip>
Run `dig example.com @ns1.stackryze.com` (or use the built-in lookup from the dashboard) to confirm the zone is live.

Where to go next

Wire up a domain you already own to a Stackryze-hosted service. The complete reference for every record type Stackryze supports. Turn on cryptographic validation for your zone. Need help?
