Discover the easy way to set up a custom domain for your Glide app with this comprehensive guide. Make the process a breeze and elevate your app's branding effortlessly.
Setting up a custom domain for a Glide app is about getting your app settings and domain registrar to work together. This lets you brand your app with a unique URL. First, buy a domain. Then, update the DNS settings and link it to your Glide account. Following these steps gives your app a polished look and makes it easier for users to find. Knowing the basics of DNS management and SSL certificates helps too for a smooth setup.
Alright, first things first, you need to buy a domain name. Head over to a domain registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains. Make sure you can access the registrar's dashboard because you'll need to manage the DNS settings there.
Next, log in to your domain registrar's website. Find the DNS settings for your domain. This is where you'll update the DNS records to point to Glide's servers.
Now, in the DNS settings, add a CNAME record. This record will link your domain to the Glide app.
If you want, you can set up a redirect from the root domain (yourdomain.com) to the www subdomain (www.yourdomain.com). This way, anyone typing yourdomain.com gets redirected to your Glide app.
Open Glide and go to the app you want to set up with a custom domain.
Glide might give you specific instructions or a token for domain verification. Follow those steps, which might include adding a TXT record to your DNS settings.
DNS changes can take a bit of time to propagate. Usually, it takes anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours. During this time, your domain might not immediately point to your Glide app.
After the DNS propagation, test your custom domain by navigating to www.yourdomain.com in a web browser. Make sure it correctly points to your Glide app.
Glide usually provides SSL for custom domains, but double-check through the Glide dashboard that SSL is enabled for your domain. This ensures your app is secure and users can access it over HTTPS.
And there you have it! This should help you set up a custom domain for your Glide app smoothly.
