How do I connect a custom domain to my Replit app?
Connect a custom domain from Publishing → Domains in your project. The setup differs depending on where you bought the domain.
If you bought your domain through Replit
Follow the in-product setup in Publishing → Domains. Replit manages your domain's DNS (Domain Name System) records for you, so you do not need to add them yourself. The Domain purchasing guide has more detail.
If you bought your domain elsewhere
Add the records Replit gives you at your DNS provider, where you manage your domain's records:
- Open your project and go to Publishing → Domains.
- Select Connect your own domain, enter your domain, and continue.
- Copy both entries Replit shows: the A (address) record and the TXT (text) record.
- Add both records at your DNS provider.
- Return to Replit and start verification.
Keep these requirements in mind:
- Both records are required for a secure connection. For a root domain such as
example.com, use an A record. A CNAME record, which is an alias to another domain, is not supported for the root domain. - Wildcard certificates, such as
*.example.com, are not supported. Connect each subdomain individually. - On Cloudflare, set the A record to DNS only so proxy mode does not block the secure connection.
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to reach all servers.
For the full setup reference, open the Custom domains guide.
