Dashboard Tour

July 16, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

The Dashboard organizes registration and account tasks. Exact labels and available areas may change with the account and current product version.

Dashboard Overview

The overview can contain:

  • Platform and namespace notices
  • Account and slot summaries
  • Domains approaching expiration
  • Registration contact data
  • Links to important actions

Read notices before registering or renewing. A notice can change the safe next step even when an older tutorial describes a different workflow.

Domain List

Use Domain List to verify:

  • The complete registered name
  • Current registration status
  • Expiration date
  • Available management actions

Domain List proves the registration account's state. It does not prove that an external DNS record exists.

Register

The registration area can include:

  • Current policy links
  • Name and suffix selection
  • Availability checking
  • Slot or charge information
  • Policy acknowledgement
  • External nameserver submission

Review the complete domain and current conditions before the final action.

WHOIS Lookup and Account Data

Lookup and account settings can help review registration data and contact information. Public visibility and editable fields depend on current policy and namespace behavior.

Never publish a screenshot of the account section without removing personal data.

API Areas

When API Keys and API Documentation are available, use the current documentation. The DigitalPlat API and an external DNS provider's API are separate. A DigitalPlat key must not be assumed to edit external zone records.

Search and Navigation

Dashboard search can help locate product actions. Search results do not grant additional capability; the resulting page and current documentation define what the feature actually supports.

A Safe Dashboard Routine

Before a state-changing action:

  1. Confirm the signed-in account.
  2. Read the notice board.
  3. Open the exact domain.
  4. Record the current state.
  5. Review the intended state.
  6. Check policy, slot, and charge information.
  7. Submit once.
  8. Return to the authoritative page and verify the result.

Screenshot Safety

Crop screenshots to the smallest interface area needed to explain the action. Exclude:

  • Browser address bar
  • Full name and address
  • Email and phone number
  • Account ID
  • Balances and unrelated subscription data
  • Private domains
  • API keys, cookies, and session values
  • Unrelated tabs or applications

Dashboard Exercise

Without changing anything, locate:

  1. Current notices
  2. Domain List
  3. Registration
  4. Account settings
  5. API documentation, when available

For each area, write whether it controls registration state, account data, nameserver delegation, or documentation.
