# Learn Domains from Registration to Website

This repository includes a book-length learning path. Product instructions and general education are separated so DigitalPlat capabilities are not confused with external DNS or hosting features.

## Category A: DigitalPlat FreeDomain

2. [Dashboard Tour](./documents/tutorial/platform/dashboard-tour.md)
3. [What DigitalPlat Does](./documents/tutorial/platform/1.0-product-boundaries.md)
4. [Create a DigitalPlat Account](./documents/tutorial/platform/1.1-account-registration.md)
5. [Register a FreeDomain Name](./documents/tutorial/platform/1.2-domain-registration.md)
6. [Connect External Nameservers](./documents/tutorial/platform/1.3-connect-nameservers.md)

8. [Manage Account Data and Policies](./documents/tutorial/platform/1.5-account-and-policies.md)
9. [Use the API Safely](./documents/tutorial/platform/1.6-api-overview.md)

DigitalPlat registers domains and delegates them to external authoritative nameservers. Ordinary DNS records are managed outside DigitalPlat.
