Connect a custom domain

By default your project is served on a livemy.app subdomain. You can also connect a domain you own — like www.example.com — so your app is reachable there, over HTTPS.

Before you start

• A live project to attach the domain to.
• A domain you own, with access to its DNS settings at your registrar or DNS provider.
• Custom domains are available on paid plans; how many you can connect depends on your plan.

Connect the domain

1. Open the project and select + domain on its address row. The Custom Domain dialog opens.

2. Enter the domain you want to use (for example example.com) and select Connect.

3. livemy.app shows the DNS record to add — an A record pointing to the IP address shown in the dialog. In your DNS provider, create that A record (use the copy button to grab the exact IP).

4. Back in the dialog, select Verify DNS. livemy.app checks that your domain points to it.

Note

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to spread across the internet. If your domain isn’t verified right away, give it some time and select Verify DNS again.

HTTPS is automatic

Once your DNS is verified, livemy.app issues an SSL certificate for your domain automatically — you don’t buy or set anything up. The dialog moves through these stages:

• Pending DNS — waiting for your domain to point to livemy.app.
• Issuing SSL — the certificate is being created (usually 1–2 minutes).
• SSL active — your domain is served over HTTPS.

Remove a domain

To disconnect a domain, open the same dialog and select Remove Domain. The project stays reachable on its livemy.app subdomain.
