Olibato runs personal and organization sites from code, connected repositories,
container images, and supported app templates. Registration is open through the
website and REST API; verify your email before deploying.

## Start with a namespace

During signup, choose a permanent DNS namespace such as `mike`. Each site has a
unique slug inside that namespace, so a site named `web1` is available at
`web1.mike.serverl3ss.com`. An organization uses its organization slug as the
namespace instead.

## Create and deploy a site

Creating a site reserves its slug and permanent host before source is attached.
Deploy a container image, connect a GitHub repository, upload committed local
source, or install an app template. Olibato records each build and immutable
version, then runs the active version in the site's isolated runtime.

Continue with the [quickstart](/v/docs/getting-started/quickstart/) for the full
signup-to-domain path. Read [Sites and deploys](/v/docs/concepts/sites-and-deploys/)
for the product model. To automate the same work, create a credential under
**Account → API access** and follow the [API token guide](/v/docs/getting-started/api-tokens/).
