Reader's Guide — FreeDomain

What this project is

FreeDomain is DigitalPlat FreeDomain's public information and learning repository: free domain registration plus practical DNS learning resources for everyone. You register a domain on the DigitalPlat dashboard, connect your preferred DNS provider through custom nameservers, and use the guides here to take a project from registration to deployment. The application source code itself lives in a separate repository (DigitalPlatDev/Domain-OSS); this repo holds the docs, guides and community files.

Available free extensions listed in the README: .DPDNS.ORG, .US.KG, .QZZ.IO, .XX.KG and .QD.JE.

How the content is organised

  • README.md — the front door: what FreeDomain is, the available extensions, how to claim a domain, the FAQ pointer, community links and an abuse-reporting note.
  • LEARN.md — the book-style learning path, from FreeDomain setup through general DNS, websites, email, operations and advanced topics.
  • documents/ — the detailed documentation tree:
    • documents/tutorial/ — the step-by-step registration tutorial (start at documents/tutorial/index.md).
    • documents/domains/ — domain reference material, including the FAQ (documents/domains/faq.md).
  • assets/ — images used by the docs, including the project logo.
  • Community and project files: CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, and LICENSE (AGPL-3.0).

How to use it

  1. Just want a domain? Follow the README's "Ready to Claim Your Free Domain?" section to the DigitalPlat dashboard, then work through documents/tutorial/index.md.
  2. Want to actually understand DNS? Read LEARN.md end to end — it is written as a guided path, not a reference dump.
  3. Stuck? Check documents/domains/faq.md first, then ask in the community channels linked from the README.
