Two clear ways to connect a domain

Start with a new registration or bring an existing domain by pointing its nameservers. Both flows keep your DNS and workload connections together.

Explore capabilities

Buy a new domain

Get a domain and your hosting on one bill, with DNS ready to go the moment registration completes.

Point existing nameservers

No need to migrate registrars — just update your nameservers and keep everything else where it is.

DNS, nameservers, and SSL

Create DNS records, update or reset nameservers, verify their status, and choose your SSL mode from separate domain tabs.

Built to operate

Domain, DNS, and security in one connected experience.

Registration, DNS, and SSL run through the same dashboard as your apps and VMs — no separate DNS provider or certificate manager to wire up.

Buy a new domain

Search availability and register a domain from the same platform as your workloads.

Point existing nameservers

Keep your registrar and point your domain's nameservers to Shard Cloud.

Managed DNS

Create the records that route your domain to apps and virtual machines.

Email DNS, ready to go

Connect Email Hosting to a domain registered with Shard Cloud and its SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records are created automatically.

Automatic SSL

Issue certificates after DNS is configured for your domain.

Attach to a workload

Connect a verified domain to an application or virtual machine directly from the domain dashboard.

Progressive setup

From registration to a live address.

Choose a path, configure DNS or nameservers, then attach the domain to what it should route to.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Domains

Yes — point your domain's existing nameservers at Shard Cloud instead of a traditional registrar transfer. Your DNS, SSL, and workload connections are then managed from the same dashboard as your apps and VMs, while you keep your original registrar.

You're invoiced automatically ahead of the renewal date. If a renewal invoice goes unpaid, the domain is marked overdue and can eventually expire and be released — renew before then to avoid losing it.

Usually not. Most domains include a first-year discount at registration, then renew at the standard annual rate from year two onward.

Once you point your nameservers, Shard Cloud verifies delegation automatically as DNS propagates. You can also trigger a manual check from the domain dashboard instead of waiting.

Domains you buy directly through Shard Cloud are unlimited. External domains brought from another registrar are capped at 15 per account.

Yes. Connect the domain to Email Hosting to create mailboxes. When the domain is registered with Shard Cloud, we automatically create the SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records email delivery needs.
