SeleDomains

Free subdomains

Every project can claim <project>.selenexus.org for free on every plan. Sites are served from a separate domain from SeleID, so a customer site can never read SeleID cookies. Labels are 3 to 40 characters of a-z, 0-9 and single hyphens; names such as www, api and console are reserved.

Claim a subdomain

POST /v1/domains/subdomains
{ "projectId": "prj_123", "label": "my-shop" }
-> { "host": "my-shop.selenexus.org" }

Custom hostnames

Bring your own domain. Add the hostname, create the two DNS records we return (a CNAME to route traffic and a TXT record to prove ownership), then poll the status until it is active and the certificate is issued.

Custom hostname API

POST /v1/domains/hostnames        { "hostname": "www.example.com" }
GET  /v1/domains/hostnames/:id    -> { "status": "pending" | "active" | "failed", "sslStatus": "pending" | "active", "dns": [...] }
DELETE /v1/domains/hostnames/:id

Search and buy a domain

Use the domain search page (when it is switched on): type a name such as myshop or myshop.com and see, for popular endings, whether the name is Available, Taken or Premium, with the first-year price and the renewal price side by side. Add the names you want to a cart; you then sign in with SeleID and review the same cart in the Developer Console. Premium names are listed but cannot be bought yet. Results are cached for about a minute, and search is rate limited and protected against bots.

Add-ons shown at checkout are only ones that really exist: free SSL once the domain is connected, auto-renew, Email Routing on the domain (inside your plan limits, no per-email price) and connecting the domain to a project. Add-ons such as DNSSEC or WHOIS privacy appear only once they are offered.

Checkout opens when payments do. Until then the console checkout stops before payment: nothing is charged and no domain is registered.

How availability is checked

Availability comes from the public registration records kept by each ending's own registry, checked live when you search and remembered for about a minute. If a registry is slow or busy we check the name's public DNS instead; if neither answers, the name shows “Unavailable right now” rather than a guess. A name is confirmed again at the moment it is registered. Endings we cannot check live, or have no price for, are not shown. Very short names and others held back by a registry are premium: they are listed, cannot be added to the cart, and you can contact us about them.

When a name is taken

If the name you want is not available, the search shows the best available alternatives first: the same name with another ending, close variations (for example get, try, app or hq added, a plural, a hyphen or a shorter form) and name ideas from your keywords. Each one is checked live and shows our price.

Who is listed on a domain

Domains are registered via SeleTech Ltd. Who appears as the registrant of record is being finalised; we will state it here before buying opens.

What you will be able to do with a domain

Email on your domain

Email Routing is free with every domain you buy from us: addresses such as support@yourdomain.com forward to your own mailbox, a webhook or your own code (plan limits on domains and addresses apply; there is no per-email charge). SeleMail sending is for transactional email only (sign-up, security, notifications and receipts). It is not chat and it does not provide staff mailboxes. Company mailboxes on your domain are coming soon.

Buy a domain

Search a name, see the price, and (when payments open) buy it. The price depends on the ending (.com, .org, .app, .tech and more). Search a name to see the exact first-year and renewal price before you buy. Domain registrations are non-refundable. Buying depends on a domain registration service and on payment collection, neither of which is switched on yet.
