Overview

Setting up a custom domain in Xano isn't too tricky but does involve a few key steps. Start by directing your domain's DNS records to Xano servers. Once that's done, setting up SSL certificates is next, ensuring all connections are secure. Don’t forget to verify that you own the domain. Afterward, tweak your Xano project settings so they match your new custom domain. This entire process doesn’t just make your application look more polished—it also secures the data exchanged between users and your backend. Before starting, ensure you have your domain management credentials and Xano account details within reach.

How to configure custom domain settings in Xano?

Step 1: Access the Custom Domain Feature

  • First things first, log in to your Xano account.
  • Head over to the Settings menu from the main dashboard.
  • Find and click on the Custom Domain option.

Step 2: Add Your Domain

  • In the Custom Domain settings, hit the Add Domain button.
  • Type in your desired custom domain in the input field.
  • Click Save to move forward.

Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership

  • Xano will give you a CNAME Record that you need to add to your domain's DNS settings.
  • Open up your domain registrar's DNS management console.
  • Add a CNAME record with these details:
  • Name/Alias: Usually "www" or your chosen subdomain.
  • Value/Target: The CNAME record provided by Xano.

Step 4: SSL Configuration

  • After adding the CNAME record, Xano will try to automatically set up an SSL certificate.
  • Make sure your DNS settings have propagated, which might take up to 48 hours.
  • Xano will let you know once the SSL certificate has been successfully issued.

Step 5: Test Your Custom Domain

  • Once the SSL provisioning is done, visit your custom domain in a web browser.
  • Check that the domain correctly redirects to your Xano application without any security warnings.

Step 6: Finalize Settings

  • Go back to the Xano Custom Domain settings.
  • Confirm that your domain status shows as "Active" and SSL as "Enabled".
  • If you want, configure any additional settings like forwarding rules or subdomain management.

Following these steps will ensure your custom domain is properly set up in Xano.
