Every published app gets an address on fabricate.chat, 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.
Custom domains are available on paid plans (see pricing), and you need to publish your app before connecting one. See Deploying Your App.

​
Connecting a Domain

1

Open your app's domain settings

In your project’s settings, open Domains and choose to add a domain.
2

Enter your domain

Type the domain you want to use. When you add the apex domain (yourcompany.com) or its www subdomain (www.yourcompany.com), Fabricate sets up both.
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:
  • A CNAME record that points your domain at Fabricate.
  • TXT records that verify you own the domain and let Cloudflare issue its SSL certificate.
An apex domain only verifies when its DNS is hosted on Cloudflare. If you manage DNS elsewhere, connect www instead and set up a redirect from the apex domain to www at your DNS provider.
4

Wait for verification

Once your DNS records are live, Fabricate verifies the domain. DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate.
5

You're live

After verification, your app is reachable at your custom domain over HTTPS. Cloudflare issues the SSL certificate, so there’s no certificate to upload.

​
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.
When you add one, Fabricate adds the other too, so visitors reach your app no matter which address they type. Both addresses serve your app; Fabricate doesn’t redirect one to the other. If you want a redirect, set it up at your DNS provider.

​
Automatic SSL

Cloudflare issues the SSL certificate for your custom domain once your DNS records are verified. Your app is served over HTTPS from then on — there’s no certificate to upload.
If your domain’s DNS is managed at Cloudflare, you can connect the apex domain directly. If it’s managed elsewhere, connect www.

​
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. If you’re connecting an apex domain, check that its DNS is hosted on Cloudflare — otherwise connect www instead. DNS changes also take time to propagate, up to 24–48 hours.
When you add an apex domain or its www subdomain, Fabricate connects both to the same app. Both serve your app; to send visitors from one to the other, set up a redirect at your DNS provider.
Yes. Your app’s fabricate.chat 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.
