What is a custom domain?

A custom domain lets you use your own web address (like yourapp.com) instead of the default created.app address. You’ll need to:

  • Own a domain (purchase one from providers like Hover if you don’t have one)
  • Have a Create Pro subscription (upgrade here)
  • Have an app ready to publish

Important timing notes:

  • DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to take effect
  • During this time, your domain might not work or might show old content
  • If it’s been 48 hours since you’d added records and published your domain, reach out for support

Custom domain configuration in the Publish modal

How it works

When someone visits your domain:

1

DNS Lookup

Your domain provider checks its DNS records

2

Routing

The records point visitors to Create’s servers

3

Delivery

Create routes visitors to your published app

DNS records are like an address book for the internet. They tell browsers where to find your app when someone types in your domain name.

​
Setting up your domain

1

Publish your app

Publish your Create app

2

Configure domain

Select “Publish to a custom domain” in the Publish modal

3

Add DNS records within your hosting control panel from your provider

Add these DNS records at your domain provider:

Type: A
Name: @
Value: 76.76.21.21

Type: CNAME
Name: www
Value: cname.vercel-dns.com

Using a subdomain? For addresses like app.your-domain.com, just add one record:

Type: A
Name: subdomain-name (e.g., "app")
Value: 76.76.21.21

Provider-specific setup
