Application hosting
View as markdown.mdCustom 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
-
Open Settings → Domains and add the hostname, e.g.
app.example.com. -
Create the DNS record shown for that hostname at your DNS provider — see below.
-
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.
-
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:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
CNAME | app | the target shown in the dashboard |
For an apex domain such as example.com — an apex can't hold a CNAME, so pick one:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
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.
