Adding a Domain to Your App

Prerequisites

Before adding a domain:

1. Own or have access to a domain
2. Access to your domain's DNS settings
3. Your app deployed and running in Server Compass

Configure DNS

Point your domain to your server:

1. Go to your domain registrar's DNS settings
2. Add an A record:
   • Host: @ (or subdomain like "app")
   • Value: Your server's IP address
   • TTL: 300 (or automatic)
3. Wait for DNS propagation (usually 5-30 minutes)

Add domain in Server Compass

1. Open your app in Server Compass
2. Go to the "Domains" tab
3. Click "Add Domain"
4. Enter your domain name
5. Click "Verify DNS"
6. Once verified, click "Configure"

Automatic SSL

Server Compass automatically:

1. Verifies DNS is pointing correctly
2. Obtains a free Let's Encrypt certificate
3. Configures HTTPS for your domain
4. Sets up auto-renewal before expiry

No manual SSL configuration needed!
