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

1

Create your Stackryze account

Sign up at dns.stackryze.com. You can use email or your existing GitHub account.
2

Add your domain

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.
3

Delegate at your registrar

At your domain registrar, set the nameservers to the four Stackryze nameservers we provide:
Propagation typically completes within 30 minutes.
4

Add your first records

Open the zone and add the records you need — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, plus modern record types like SVCB, HTTPS, and TLSA.
Save your records as a draft first — Stackryze validates the whole zone before publishing so syntax mistakes never go live.
5

Verify with a lookup

Run dig example.com @ns1.stackryze.com (or use the built-in lookup from the dashboard) to confirm the zone is live.
