Welcome to the Subdomain Onboarding Guide for Superlink’s free subdomain service. This page outlines the steps and prerequisites required to integrate your solution with our service, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.

​
Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that the Superlink SDK is correctly installed and configured within your environment. For detailed instructions, please refer to our SDK Setup Guide.

​
Onboarding Scenarios

Depending on your needs, you may either wish to use an existing domain or acquire a new one through our service. Below, we detail the processes for each scenario.

​
Using an Existing Domain

To onboard with an existing domain, ensure the following configurations are in place:
  1. Enable DNSSEC at your domain provider’s DNS management tool. This security measure is crucial for the onboarding process.
  2. Your domain must include a specific TXT record:
ENS1 0x505D33bA35DEa67De12A8Cb3A915f9B58Ae1B50e
To verify that your domain is correctly set up, utilize the Parentdomain Validation API. This endpoint will confirm your domain’s readiness and identify any potential configuration issues.

​
Acquiring a New Domain

If you require a new domain, Superlink provides two APIs to facilitate this process:
  1. Parentdomain Search API: Find an available domain to serve as your namespace’s parent domain. Learn more.
  2. Parentdomain Purchase API: Complete the purchase and setup of your new domain. Learn more.
Please Note: Purchasing a domain through our service requires the same personal information as a standard ICANN domain registration, including full name, contact details, and physical address. However, all domains are acquired under a privacy proxy to ensure your personal information remains confidential and is not displayed in WHOIS records.
