Custom Domains

This page will walk you through the process of adding and verifying your custom domain, and attaching it to a deployment on our platform.

What is a Custom Domain?

A custom domain is a unique URL that you own and can use for your deployments on Customary. Instead of using a default URL provided by Customary, you can use your own domain to give your application a professional and branded look.

How to Add a Custom Domain

Adding a custom domain on Customary involves a few steps:

  1. Add Your Domain: Navigate to your Customary settings and add your custom domain. Make sure you enter the complete domain, including any subdomains if applicable.

  2. Verify Domain Ownership: To ensure the security and integrity of our platform, we require you to verify that you own the domain you’re adding. This is done by setting specific DNS records. These records will be provided by Customary and need to be added to your domain’s DNS settings. The exact process for this varies depending on your domain registrar, but generally involves adding a TXT or CNAME record with the provided values.

  3. Domain Verification: After setting the DNS records, Customary will check that you own the domain. This process can take some time, depending on how quickly the DNS changes propagate. Once the domain is verified, you can proceed to the next step.

  4. Attach Domain to Deployment: Now that your domain is verified, you can attach it to a deployment. This means that the deployment will be accessible at the custom domain you’ve added.

SSL Certificates and Encrypted Connections

For every custom domain you add, Customary will automatically create an SSL certificate. This ensures that every deployment using that domain has an SSL certificate, providing an encrypted connection for your users. This is an important aspect of web security and helps protect your users’ data.

Conclusion

Using custom domains on Customary is a straightforward process that allows you to give your deployments a professional and branded look. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can add, verify, and attach your custom domain to a deployment, ensuring a secure and encrypted connection for your users.
