Custom Domain
Custom Domain
Use your own domain (like www.yoursite.com) instead of the default JustDeploy URL. Available on paid plans for your Live environment only.
Custom domains are managed through the console only. There is no API for domain management.
Connecting a domain
- Open your project detail page.
- In the Custom Domain section, click Connect domain.
- Enter your domain — for example,
example.com,www.example.com, orapi.example.com. - Add the DNS records shown to your domain provider (like Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.).
- JustDeploy checks your DNS and activates the domain automatically.
DNS records
After connecting, JustDeploy tells you exactly which records to add. The record type depends on your domain:
| Domain type | Example | DNS record |
|---|---|---|
| Subdomain | www.example.com | CNAME pointing to *.justdeploy.site |
| Apex (root) domain | example.com | A record pointing to JustDeploy IPs |
Two extra DNS records are needed for SSL (the padlock icon in browsers). JustDeploy shows all the records you need — just copy them into your domain provider’s DNS settings.
For an apex domain like
www.example.com, enter @ as the Name (or leave it blank — it depends on your provider). For subdomains, enter just the prefix — e.g. www, not the full domain.Activation flow

Once your DNS records are in place, JustDeploy detects them and sets up your SSL certificate. The page updates automatically. This usually takes a few minutes, but can take up to 24–48 hours depending on your DNS provider.
