Getting started
How an Orbit account is organised, what lives where in the console, and the shortest path from signing in to serving a name from our network.
Docs
Documentation.
Written for somebody with an account and a problem. Every page is the shortest path from where you are to the thing working.
DNS hosting
Add a zone, point your registrar at our name servers, and manage records. Includes weighted answers, health-checked records, ALIAS at the apex and zone-file import.
Connect a hostname
Delegate the whole domain, delegate one hostname, or add a CNAME and leave your DNS where it is. What each one costs you and when to pick it.
Link (origin tunnels)
Run a small connector on your own server. It dials out to a city you choose and holds the connection open, so your site is reachable through Orbit without a public address and without an open port.
Use our public DNS
Step-by-step settings for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and routers, for both the unfiltered and the filtered resolver, over plain DNS and over encrypted transports.
RPKI
Point your routers at our free public RPKI-to-Router cache, or let us host the CA that signs your own address space and publish it from every anycast node.
Verify
A widget most visitors never have to click, a one-request server-side confirmation, no cookies, no iframes and no cross-site tracking. Drop-in HTML and the siteverify contract.
Using the API
How to get a token, what the responses look like, which errors mean what, and how listing endpoints page. Everything the console does is available here.
Shield: cache, rules, TLS
What the edge caches and for how long, what the managed WAF inspects, how rate limiting and network rules interact, and how certificates issue and renew.
