Key details
- Subdomains offered at no cost under .dpdns.org, .us.kg, .qzz.io, and .xx.kg, as listed in the repository.
- Published as open source under the GNU AGPL-3.0 license.
- Documentation covers account registration and requests. The step-by-step tutorial is available here.
- DNS setup guidance in the repository recommends no-cost DNS via Cloudflare, FreeDNS by Afraid.org, or Hostry.
- Fiscal sponsorship and funds management are provided by The Hack Foundation, a U.S. 501(c)(3). See the foundation’s website and DigitalPlat’s Hack Club Bank page.
- .kg is Kyrgyzstan’s country-code top-level domain, per IANA records.
