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 capabilitiesBuy 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.
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.
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
How this resource works in practice.
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.
