Adding a domain
Open the Domains tab, choose Add Domain, and enter the name without http:// or www. Then set the domain's A record at your DNS provider to the IP address shown on that page.
The tab shows three things for each domain:
- DNS — whether the name currently resolves to this container.
- HTTPS — whether a certificate is in place.
- HTTP — what your site returns right now.
A new domain often shows DNS as not pointed for a few minutes while the change propagates. That is normal.
Every domain serves the same site
This is the part worth reading twice. All domains on a container serve the same files from public_html. Adding a second domain gives your existing site another address — it does not create a second website with its own folder.
Your plan's domain allowance is a count of addresses, not of separate sites. If you need two genuinely separate websites, you need two containers.
Free HTTPS
Certificates are issued automatically by Let's Encrypt the first time your domain is visited over https, and renewed automatically after that. There is nothing to buy, install or remember.
Issuance requires DNS to point at your container first. If HTTPS does not appear, check the DNS badge before anything else.
Removing a domain
Removing a domain stops your container serving it and removes its certificate. Your files are untouched.
