Can I use my existing brand?
Yes. Upload your logo and SuNodes detects your brand colors automatically. Choose your fonts and tone of voice, and your website is designed around your existing identity.
Can I bring my existing website?
Yes. Drop in the folder or a .zip of any static site, up to 500 MB. If it’s a project folder, we find the built site in dist/ or build/ and skip source code. SuNodes hosts it as-is, and you can edit the code yourself or ask the AI to change it.
Do I own my domain?
Yes. Domains are registered in your name through Namecheap, Inc., an ICANN-accredited registrar, with WHOIS privacy included at no extra cost. By registering you agree to the Namecheap Registration Agreement; ICANN’s Registrant Benefits and Responsibilities explain your rights as a domain holder.
What happens to my site and domain if I leave?
They’re yours. Once you’ve made any purchase (a domain, hosting or AI credits), download your whole site as a .zip and host it anywhere. Unlock your domain and request its transfer code from the dashboard to move it to another registrar (registrars don’t allow transfers in the first 60 days after registration).
Can I connect a domain I already have?
Yes. Point two DNS records at SuNodes and we verify them automatically, issue an SSL certificate, and put your site live.
How much does the AI cost?
Researching your business, brand ideas and your first three design directions are free. After that, AI work is priced per job in credits worth $0.10 each, and you see the price before anything starts: building the first version of your site is 20 credits ($2), changing a section 2 credits, a small edit 1 credit. Work that fails is never charged. Credit packs start at $5 for 50 credits, and domain and hosting purchases come with bonus credits.
Which AI models does SuNodes support?
Use SuNodes AI, which picks and updates the models for you, or bring your own key for Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. On your own key, your provider bills you for the AI directly and we show a cost estimate before each job, with a spending limit you set. Your first 3 full site builds on your own key are free; after that each has a 10-credit platform fee. Edits on your own key have no fee.
Where do the photos on my site come from?
Your own photos come first: upload them, or we use the ones on your existing site. Where there aren’t any, we find real photography on Unsplash, used under the Unsplash License and credited to the photographer, or generate original artwork. Stock photos are never presented as your own work, premises or people.
Is SSL included?
Yes. Every site gets a free, automatically renewing Let’s Encrypt certificate, with HSTS and strict security headers applied by default.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe the change you want in plain English, or click any section to edit it visually. Your work saves as you go, and every AI change can be undone.
How are my AI keys protected?
Keys are checked with the provider before they’re saved, then stored envelope-encrypted: each key gets its own AES-256-GCM data key, wrapped by a master key held outside the database. A key is decrypted only in memory for the request that uses it and is never shown again or sent back to your browser.
