Custom domains

Serve your project on your own domain with an automatic HTTPS certificate.

Every project is reachable at <slug>.ztls.app from its first successful deploy. To serve it on your own domain, add the domain and point its DNS at Zeitlos.

Adding a domain

  1. Open Settings → Domains and add the hostname, e.g. app.example.com.

  2. Create the DNS record shown for that hostname at your DNS provider — see below.

  3. Wait for verification

    Zeitlos checks DNS automatically and the domain moves from pending through to active on its own. You can trigger a manual scan if you added your DNS records. Be aware that DNS records might need a short time to propagate.

  4. HTTPS is issued for you

    A certificate is provisioned once the domain verifies, and renewed automatically.

Which record to create

For a subdomain such as app.example.com — a single CNAME:

TypeNameValue
CNAMEappthe target shown in the dashboard

For an apex domain such as example.com — an apex can't hold a CNAME, so pick one:

TypeNameValue
ALIAS / ANAME@the target shown in the dashboard
A@the IP shown in the dashboard

Whenever your DNS provider supports ALIAS/ANAME prefer using this.

Note

The exact target and IP are shown next to the domain in the dashboard. Use those values rather than copying them from anywhere else.
