Everything you need to run your .plc.asia name

From creating an account to publishing live DNS records, renewals and delegation — this guide walks through every screen of the registry, step by step.

Step 1

Getting started

Registration takes under a minute and is verified by email.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Open the Sign up form, enter your full name, email address and a password of at least 8 characters.

  2. 2

    Verify your email with an OTP

    We email you a 6-digit verification code. Enter it on the same screen — the code expires after a short window, and you can request a new one.

  3. 3

    You are signed in instantly

    Once verified, your account is created and activated automatically. No waiting for manual approval to log in.

  4. 4

    Open your dashboard

    The dashboard is your control centre: claimed names, status, expiry dates, DNS management and renewals.

Forgot your password? Use Forgot password on the sign-in screen — a one-time code is emailed to you and lets you set a new password immediately.

Step 2

Claiming a subdomain

Every account may hold up to two .plc.asia names.

Naming rules

  • • 3–32 characters, lowercase letters, digits and hyphens
  • • must start and end with a letter or digit
  • • no double hyphens (--) anywhere in the name
  • • reserved words (www, mail, admin…) are blocked

Activation

Once a claim is confirmed, the name becomes

active
and DNS management unlocks right away so you can publish records immediately.

How to claim

  1. 1. Search your name on the home page — availability is checked live as you type.
  2. 2. Press Claim; you are taken to the dashboard claim box with the name pre-filled.
  3. 3. Confirm the claim. The name is registered for one year with a visible expiry date.
  4. 4. Open Manage DNS to publish records.

Step 3

DNS management

Each subdomain has its own record table with up to 20 records.

Adding a record

On the domain page choose Add record, pick a type, then fill the host field. Use @ for the subdomain root (e.g. acme.plc.asia) or a label such as www to create www.acme.plc.asia. Set the content (IP, hostname or text), a TTL, and save — the record is pushed live to the authoritative nameservers immediately.

Editing, verifying and deleting

  • Edit — change content, TTL or priority; the live record is updated in place.
  • Verify — runs a real-time DNS lookup so you can confirm the record resolves globally.
  • Delete — removes the record from both the registry and live DNS.

Delegation rule: NS records cannot coexist with other record types. Remove every other record before delegating, and remove the NS set before returning to normal record hosting.

Reference

Supported record types

Six record types cover hosting, email and verification needs.

TypeUse it for
APoints your name to an IPv4 address203.0.113.10
AAAAPoints your name to an IPv6 address2606:4700:3033::6815:1
CNAMEAliases your name to another hostnamemy-app.vercel.app
TXTVerification strings, SPF, DKIM and domain proofsv=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
MXMail delivery servers (needs a priority value)aspmx.l.google.com — priority 10
NSDelegates the whole subdomain to your own nameserversns1.example-dns.com

TTL accepts 60–86400 seconds (or automatic). MX records require a priority between 0 and 65535.

Billing

Renewal & payments

Names are registered for one year and renewed manually.

How renewal works

  1. 1. The dashboard shows days remaining and warns you inside the last 30 days.
  2. 2. Press Renew and pick a payment method.
  3. 3. Pay to the shown account and submit your transaction ID / sender number.
  4. 4. Once an administrator confirms the payment, the expiry date extends by another year.

Methods & currency

Local mobile wallets (bKash, Nagad) and international options such as Binance Pay are supported, depending on what the registry has enabled. Use the currency switcher in the header to view prices in BDT or USD. Keep your payment proof until the renewal shows as approved.

Good to know

Rules & policies

Fair-use limits that keep the namespace healthy.

2 names per account

A hard limit enforced server-side. Release a name to free a slot.

20 DNS records per name

Enough for web, mail and verification records on one project.

Deletion is final

Releasing a name removes its DNS instantly and reopens the name to everyone.

Abuse policy

Phishing, malware and impersonation lead to immediate suspension.

One-year terms

Every claim is valid for 12 months and renewable before expiry.

You own your records

Only you can view or edit the DNS of the names in your account.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the things people ask most.

Two. The limit is enforced by the database, so a third claim is always rejected — release one name first if you need a different one.
