Website (front-end)

Your application can be published on a subdomain provided by Softr, custom subdomains or your own custom domain. Subdomain gets assigned to your application by default, right after you create the application.

When you are on a paid plan, you can publish your application to your own custom domain (yourdomain.com). Custom domain boosts your credibility and helps to build up your brand.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Add a custom domain

In the application Studio, go to Settings > Domains page, and add your own custom domain in the following format "yourdomain.com". It will also add the full domain "www.yourdomain.com" by default.

2. Update the DNS

Access your domain's DNS settings in your domain registrar's or DNS host's dashboard.

Every DNS host has their own way of updating DNS settings. Please read the help documentation of your DNS host if you are not familiar with it yet.

Add 2 A records

You will need to create 2 “A record”

• For the first set the host to @

• For the second set the host to www

• Input the IP address we provide you (see marked below)

To verify that your DNS settings are correct, and that your domain is correctly pointing to Softr, check the status of your domain name in your DNS settings.

NOTE: DNS changes may take a few minutes for your A name records to propagate everywhere. If you still run into any issues with your domain verification, reach out to your DNS provider to make sure the records are set correctly.

3. Publish your application to your custom domain

Now go back to Softr's Studio. You should see your custom domain in Publish Menu. Click Publish button and you are done... almost!

It may take up to 48 hours before changes are successfully made from your DNS host so you can open your application with your domain.

NOTE: When the DNS records in your Settings > Domains page show up as "Connected" in green colour, your domain is functional. If your domain is not working correctly after 48 hours, contact your domain provider’s support. If your DNS settings are correct and you are still experiencing issues with your published application, contact us and we will help you resolve any issues.
