What Nexus Directory is
Nexus Directory is a free, human-curated catalogue of the web — right now 789 websites sorted by hand into 22 categories. It follows the spirit of the classic early-web indexes: sites are grouped by topic by people, not ranked by an opaque algorithm, so you can browse and discover instead of guessing search terms.
Editorial & review policy
Every submission is checked by a human before it goes live. We confirm a site is real, reachable and placed in the right category, and we pull a short description from the site itself so each record is honest about what it offers. We do not accept malware, deceptive pages or thin doorway sites.
Outbound links carry rel="nofollow" — this is an index, not a link-selling scheme. We keep the catalogue tidy by hand precisely so it stays useful rather than turning into link spam.
Free, forever
Listing your website is completely free. There is no paid tier, no "express review" fee and no upsell — unlike the older paid directories. The index grows because real owners register real sites.
Who keeps it
Nexus Directory is maintained by its editorial team, who review submissions and curate every category. Spotted a record that's wrong, dead or miscategorised? Tell us and we'll fix it.
Register your site
If you run a legitimate website, you can add it to the index in under a minute — choose a category, paste your URL, and we'll handle the description.
