Domains & SSL

Domains and SSL
made simple

Point your domain, issue free SSL, route through Cloudflare, and verify reachability — all from one tab. Live URL status tells you which of the four variants actually responds.

Domain Management

Two kinds of domain, one tab

SharkCluster subdomains are managed for you with HTTPS terminated at the edge. Custom domains need DNS records at your registrar and get Let's Encrypt certificates or Cloudflare integration.

Custom Domains

Point your domain with DNS records, get Let's Encrypt SSL

Free Subdomains

Every app gets a *.sharkcluster.com subdomain with edge HTTPS

Free SSL

Let's Encrypt certificates issued and renewed automatically

Cloudflare

Per-domain add-on: WAF, caching, origin protection, analytics

Live URL Status

Four checks per domain — see which variant actually responds

VHost Editing

Raw nginx/Apache config, syntax-checked before applying

SSL

Free SSL certificates, automatic

Let's Encrypt certificates are issued automatically on the server. A certbot fallback retries with the canonical name alone if an alias doesn't resolve yet, so you still get a certificate. Auto-renewal means certificates renew without you.

  • Free Let's Encrypt certificates for custom domains
  • Auto-renewal — certificates renew without you
  • Certbot fallback for partially-pointed domains
  • Apex redirect vhost created for www domains with Cloudflare

Cloudflare integration — beyond SSL

Cloudflare is wired into the panel as a per-domain add-on covering far more than certificates: security rules, performance tuning, origin protection, redirect management, and per-domain analytics — all configured without leaving SharkCluster.

  • Per-domain subscription with trial period
  • Three badge states: Disable, Pending, Enable
  • Auto-validating — badge updates every 20 seconds
  • DCV Delegation TXT record for SSL auto-renewal
  • Security rules, WAF, caching, origin protection, analytics

Status

Live URL status — know what responds

Four independent checks per domain — non-www HTTP/HTTPS and www HTTP/HTTPS — laid out as a small grid. This column tells you at a glance which variant a visitor can actually reach.

  • Green — responded with status below 400
  • Red — 4xx, 5xx, timed out, or connection failed
  • Grey — not checked yet
  • Re-checked on every list fetch — never stops looking

VHost

Virtual host config editing

The raw web server configuration for any domain is editable in the panel. The configuration is tested before it's applied — a syntax error is rejected rather than taking your web server down.

  • Full nginx or Apache config in a Monaco editor
  • TEST & SAVE CHANGES — syntax-checked before applying
  • Copy Primary Virtual Host when changing primary domains
  • Custom rewrites, proxy rules, header settings, per-domain PHP values

Free Subdomains

Reachable before any DNS is configured

Every application gets a free *.sharkcluster.com subdomain automatically, with HTTPS terminated at the edge via Cloudflare. A new app is reachable before any DNS is configured — no domain, no registrar, no waiting.

Automatic subdomain for every application

HTTPS terminated at the edge — no certificate setup
