Custom domains
Point your own domain at your app. HTTPS is automatic and there's no redeploy.
Hobby includes 1 custom domain, Pro 5 and Team 20. HTTPS certificates are issued and renewed for you.
Add a domain
Add it in the dashboard
Go to Domains, pick the project and type your domain: www.example.com or example.com.
Create the DNS records at your registrar
The dashboard shows two records with their exact values. Copy them into your registrar's DNS settings (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, OVH…):
| Type | Name | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
TXT | _dockhosting-verify.www.example.com | dockhosting=… (your token) | Proves the domain is yours |
CNAME | www.example.com | my-app.dockhosting.cloud | Sends visitors to your app |
For a root domain (example.com), a CNAME isn't allowed: the dashboard shows an A record to our IP address instead.
Wait for the check
We check your records every few minutes. As soon as the TXT record is found, the domain shows Verified and starts routing to your app. No redeploy needed: it's live within seconds.
Cloudflare users
Set the CNAME to DNS only (grey cloud) while the certificate is issued. You can turn the proxy on afterwards, with SSL mode Full.
DNS can take a while
Most registrars publish records in minutes, but some take up to a few hours. Check yours from a terminal:
dig +short TXT _dockhosting-verify.www.example.com
dig +short CNAME www.example.comRemove a domain
Remove it in Domains. It stops routing at once, again without a redeploy.
Keep the TXT record
We re-check every verified domain once a day. If its TXT record stays missing for a week, the domain is released from your app, so someone who buys the domain after you can use it.
