# Create Nextcloud Hub

"Empower your digital experience by creating your Nextcloud Hub with ease! Simply head to the Apps section, click on 'Create App,' enter your custom domain (e.g., next2.enclaive.cloud), and finalize the details. Before proceeding, ensure your DNS records are set up. After creation, visit your custom domain, create a secure admin account, and click 'Install.' For now, focus on file storage, as our upcoming enterprise edition will introduce support for additional apps. Your always-encrypted Nextcloud is now ready to enhance your workflow!

where \<your-custom-subdomain> points to your subdomain. In the example the subdomain is `next2.`
