Create Cluster (Existing Domain)

Create a cluster using a domain you already own

Create Cluster with Existing Domain

Creates a new VPS cluster using a domain that's already been purchased through Hermes or added manually.

⚠️ Warning: This endpoint charges your wallet $25.00 for server provisioning (if not using existing VPS). No domain charge since the domain already exists.

Request

  • domain (string) (required) — An existing domain already in your account (e.g., mycompany.com)

  • useExistingVps (boolean) (default: false) — If true, uses an existing VPS. No server charge.
