## Detailed features

### Public suffix registry (`reg`)

* Register a subdomain of the registry
* Set domain's nameservers
* Set a DS record to enable DNSSEC
* Set Glue records
* Display records
* Transfer domain to another account
* Partial `CSYNC` and `CDS` support to synchronize from child zone

### Name server (`ns`)

* Host a zone on the server
* Plain zone file edition
* Dedicated forms to set/unset `A`, `AAAA`, `NS`, `TXT`, `CAA`, `SRV`, `MX`, `SRV`, `SSHFP`, `TLSA`, `CNAME`, `DNAME` and `LOC` records
* Display records or the full zone file
* Keep records in sync with another domain (`CNAME` alternative for apex domains)

### Static HTTP site hosting (`ht`)

Upload site's files to the server using SFTP. The way the site is accessed can then be choosed:

* Dedicated domain name and Let's Encrypt certificate
* Dedicated onion service (through Tor)
* Subdomain of a shared root domain
* HTTP subpath of a shared domain

Some Apache configuration directives are available through `.htaccess`.
