Custom Domains
Attach a domain to a public NexHost service and complete the dashboard-guided DNS verification.
Custom Domains#
Add a custom domain from the project’s domain settings after a public service has a successful release. The dashboard provides the exact DNS records required for the selected domain and reports the current verification status.
Add the domain#
- Open Dashboard → Domains or the project’s domain settings.
- Enter the hostname you want to use, such as
www.example.com. - Choose the available DNS management option.
- Copy the ownership and routing records shown by the dashboard into your DNS provider.
- Run verification after the records have propagated.
Do not guess record names or targets from another project. The values displayed for the domain you are adding are authoritative.
TLS#
When the domain is verified and attached to a public service, NexHost manages certificate issuance for that hostname. Leave the verification records in place unless the domain screen tells you otherwise.
Common issues#
| Status | What to check |
|---|---|
| Ownership pending | The ownership record exactly matches the dashboard value and has propagated at the DNS provider. |
| Routing pending | The host record matches the target shown for this domain. |
| Certificate pending | Complete ownership and routing verification first, then check the domain screen for its current status. |
If a record looks correct but verification remains pending, use the dashboard’s support path and include the domain and displayed status—never post DNS credentials or service secrets.
