# Getting started

> Create your account, register your first Stackryze Domain, and verify it is active.

This guide walks you through creating your account and registering your first Stackryze Domain.

<Note>
  Stackryze Domains supports four namespaces — `indevs.in`, `sryze.cc`, `ryzedns.org`, and `nx.kg`. The examples below use `yourname.indevs.in`; substitute whichever namespace you registered under.
</Note>

<Note>
  Stackryze Domains is currently in beta and updated daily. If you find an issue, report it via the support channels at the bottom of this page.
