Connect a custom domain

Publish the project at least once before adding a custom domain.

Add the domain

1. Open Custom domain in the project sidebar.
2. Enter a hostname, such as app.example.com, then select Add Domain.
3. Copy the DNS record shown by Layerwise into your DNS provider.
4. Keep the page open while Layerwise validates the domain.

For a subdomain, create a CNAME pointing to the Layerwise production domain. For an apex/root domain, use ALIAS, ANAME, or CNAME flattening when your DNS provider supports it.

Check validation

Layerwise refreshes domain status every 15 seconds while the page is open. The table shows the hostname, current status, last check, and whether it is canonical.

DNS propagation can take time. Do not remove the domain while validation is in progress. If validation does not complete, see Custom domain validation.
