Bring your own domain

Link a domain you already own to NexusNodes

Already registered example.co.za with another provider? Keep it. Link it to NexusNodes hosting and we'll handle the routing and TLS — you stay the registered owner with your existing registrar.

  1. 1

    Pick a NexusNodes plan

    Choose Launch, Grow, or Agency — whichever fits the workload. Domain registration and transfer are available as add-ons during checkout, but you don't need them if you already own the domain.

  2. 2

    Choose “I will use my existing domain” at checkout

    The cart's domain step gives you three choices: register a new domain, transfer one in, or use a domain you already own. Pick option three — there's no domain charge added to the order.

  3. 3

    Add it to your project in the customer console

    Once your service activates, sign in to the NexusNodes console and open Domains. Add your domain — we'll show you the exact A record to paste into your existing DNS provider.

  4. 4

    We verify, issue TLS, and route traffic

    NexusNodes checks your DNS automatically. Once the A record points at us, the domain transitions through verification_pending → certificate_pending → live. Verification is on the platform — you don't have to email anyone.

Domain registration and transfer are add-ons

If you'd prefer to also register a brand-new domain or transfer an existing one into Segbytes, you can do that in the same cart step alongside any NexusNodes plan. That's the only way to get a domain SKU — there are no standalone domain purchases here.

Quick FAQ

Do I lose ownership of my domain?
No. Linking a domain doesn't transfer it. You stay the registered owner at whoever you bought it from. We just route traffic through NexusNodes when DNS points at us.
Can I use a subdomain?
Yes. app.example.co.za works the same way as the apex. Add a CNAME or A record pointing the subdomain at NexusNodes and we verify it just like a top-level domain.
What if my DNS is locked to my current host?
You'll need either DNS portability (most providers offer this) or to delegate the apex/subdomain to a DNS host you control (e.g. Cloudflare). NexusNodes doesn't provide DNS — we verify and route based on what's published.
How long does verification take?
Usually under five minutes once the DNS propagates. The customer console shows live status as the domain transitions through each state.
