## Serious DNS, zero invoices

The same infrastructure we run our own products on - open to everyone, free.

- **Any domain, hosted free**: Bring a domain registered anywhere. Delegate it to our nameservers and manage it here - free, forever.
- **No domain? No problem**: Register a free subdomain under dedyn.abt.nz with dynDNS - your router or a script keeps it pointed at your changing IP.
- **DNSSEC by default**: Every zone is signed automatically. Cryptographic protection against DNS spoofing, no setup required.
- **REST API & scoped tokens**: Automate everything: a full REST API with fine-grained tokens scoped to exactly the domains they may touch.
- **Clean web portal**: Domains, records and tokens in a simple self-service portal. No tickets, no waiting.
- **Built for AI agents**: A published MCP endpoint lets your AI agent create domains and edit records with its own scoped token - true to the ABT way.

## From sign-up to a live zone

1. **Create an account**. Sign up in the portal - it takes a minute and costs nothing.
2. **Add your domain**. Add a domain you own - or register a free subdomain under dedyn.abt.nz.
3. **Delegate to our NS**. At your registrar, point the domain to the nameservers shown in the portal at https://abt.nz/panel/. That's the only change.
4. **Manage it your way**. Edit records in the portal, script the API - or hand the token to your AI agent.
