Every published app gets a subdomain on Fabricate’s domain, but you can also connect a domain you own — like yourcompany.com — so your app lives at your own address. Fabricate handles custom domains through Cloudflare-for-SaaS custom hostnames, including SSL certificates.
You need to publish your app before connecting a custom domain. See Deploying Your App.

​
Connecting a Domain

1

Open your app's domain settings

In your app’s settings, find the custom domain section and choose to add a domain.
2

Enter your domain

Type the domain you want to use. You can connect both the apex domain (yourcompany.com) and the www subdomain (www.yourcompany.com).
3

Add the DNS records

Fabricate shows you the exact DNS records to create. Add them at your domain registrar or wherever you manage DNS:
  • For the apex domain, add the record Fabricate provides to point the root of your domain at your app.
  • For the www subdomain, add a CNAME record pointing www at the target Fabricate gives you.
4

Wait for verification

Once your DNS records are live, Fabricate verifies the domain. DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours to propagate.
5

You're live

After verification, your app is reachable at your custom domain. SSL is provisioned automatically — no certificates to upload or renew.

​
Apex vs www

You can serve your app from either the apex domain, the www subdomain, or both:
  • Apex domain — yourcompany.com, the bare root of your domain.
  • www subdomain — www.yourcompany.com.
Connecting both is recommended so visitors reach your app no matter which address they type. Decide which one you want as the primary address and you can have the other redirect to it.

​
Automatic SSL

Fabricate provisions and renews SSL certificates for your custom domain automatically through Cloudflare. Your app is served over HTTPS from the moment the domain is verified — there’s nothing to configure and nothing to renew.
If your domain’s DNS is already managed at Cloudflare, propagation is usually fast. Domains hosted elsewhere can take longer to verify.

​
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Use any domain you already own. You add DNS records at your existing registrar — Fabricate doesn’t sell domains.
Confirm the DNS records exactly match what Fabricate shows, with no extra characters. DNS changes also take time to propagate, so give it up to a couple of hours before troubleshooting further.
You can connect your apex and www to the same app. Treat one as primary and redirect the other for a consistent address.
Yes. Your original yourapp.fabricate.build address keeps working alongside your custom domain.
Nothing — your custom domain stays connected across redeploys. Only your app’s code is updated when you publish again.
