## Online version closed

Public registrations on `app.happydomain.org` are paused while we
polish the next release.

### happyDomain is evolving

happyDomain will soon let you **continuously test the security of
your domains** and **monitor every service exposed through DNS**
(web, mail, VPN, etc.) — all of this **with zero configuration**,
working straight from your existing records.

We are rolling out this new version **progressively**, to gather
feedback from our users and refine the service before reopening it
to everyone. Your input at this stage is invaluable in helping us
deliver the best possible product.

Two ways to use happyDomain right now:

### 1. Join the beta program
