Basics

Domains

Connect custom domains to your October Cloud applications.

Domains page

The domains page can be opened from the Domains block on your application's homepage, or directly at octobercms.cloud/<org>/<app>/domains.

From here you can manage your platform domain and connect custom domains.

Platform domain

Every application is provided a platform domain at <app>.octobercms.cloud. This domain is available after the initial deployment and can be used to preview your site before connecting a custom domain.

The platform domain can be changed from the domains page if you need a different subdomain.

Custom domains

Enter the domain on the domains page and add the generated CNAME records at your provider. Once verified, traffic is routed to your application with a platform-managed SSL certificate.

Use a www subdomain as your primary domain (for example, www.acme.com). Apex domains are not supported at this time because they must keep SOA and NS records.

Point the apex (acme.com) to www with a 301 redirect at your registrar.

NOTE

A 301 redirect from the apex to www does not hurt SEO. Search engines treat this as normal domain canonicalization and pass ranking signals to the www version.
