Before you start
Before connecting a custom domain, make sure you have:- Deployed your application - Your project must be deployed first. If you haven’t deployed yet, see our deployment guide.
- A domain name - You need to own a domain name (like example.com) from a domain registrar
- A paid plan - Pro or Pro Plus plan is required for custom domains
Connect your custom domain
1
Open your project
Go to the project you want to connect a domain to. Make sure the project is already deployed.
2
Open options menu
Inside your project, look for the options menu in the top right corner. Click
on it to see available options.
3
Select connect custom domain
In the options menu, you’ll find the “Connect Custom Domain” option. Click on
it to start the connection process.
4
Enter your domain
You’ll see a field to enter your domain name. Type in your domain (for
example: example.com or www.example.com).
5
Click connect
After entering your domain name, click the “Connect” button. HypeFrame will
start the connection process.
6
Wait for DNS propagation
After clicking connect, it will take a few minutes for DNS propagation to
complete. During this time, HypeFrame is configuring your domain to point to
your deployment.
DNS propagation typically takes 5-15 minutes, but can sometimes take up to
24 hours depending on your domain registrar and DNS settings.
7
Domain is connected
Once DNS propagation is complete, your custom domain will be connected to your specific deployment. You’ll receive an email confirmation with the connection details, including your project ID. Your application will be accessible at your custom domain.
How it works
When you connect a custom domain:- HypeFrame configures DNS - Sets up the necessary DNS records to point your domain to your deployment
- SSL certificate - Automatically provisions an SSL certificate for secure HTTPS access
- Domain verification - Verifies that you own the domain
- Connection complete - Your domain is connected to that specific deployment
Each deployment can have its own custom domain. If you deploy a new version,
the domain stays connected to that deployment.
Important notes
Domain ownership
You must own the domain you’re trying to connect. HypeFrame will verify domain ownership during the connection process.DNS settings
HypeFrame automatically configures the necessary DNS records. You don’t need to manually edit DNS settings in most cases, but you may need to verify domain ownership with your registrar.Deployment requirement
You must deploy your project before connecting a custom domain. The domain connects to a specific deployment, so make sure your project is deployed and working correctly first.Multiple domains
You can connect multiple domains to the same deployment if needed. Each domain will point to the same application.Troubleshooting
Domain not connecting
If your domain isn’t connecting:- Make sure your project is deployed
- Verify you have a Pro or Pro Plus plan
- Check that you entered the domain name correctly
- Wait a bit longer—DNS propagation can take time
- Verify domain ownership with your registrar
DNS propagation taking too long
If DNS propagation is taking longer than expected:- DNS changes can take up to 24 hours in some cases
- Check your domain registrar’s DNS settings
- Verify that DNS records are being updated
- Contact support if it’s been more than 24 hours
Domain not working after connection
If your domain is connected but not working:- Wait a few more minutes for DNS to fully propagate
- Clear your browser cache
- Try accessing the domain from a different network
- Check that your domain registrar’s DNS is working correctly
SSL certificate issues
If you’re having SSL certificate problems:- SSL certificates are automatically provisioned—this may take a few minutes
- Make sure your domain is properly connected
- Wait for the certificate to be issued (usually within minutes)
- Contact support if issues persist
