You have two options:

​
Option 1: Use a Free doploy Subdomain

Use any available {your-name}.doploy.site domain at no cost. Simply enter your desired subdomain name and save.

​
Option 2: Use Your Own Custom Domain

If you want to use your own domain:
  1. Get your instance IP address - This is shown in the domain settings
  2. Create an A record in your domain’s DNS settings: 
    Type: A
Name: @ (or your subdomain)
Value: [Your Instance IP Address]
TTL: 3600
  3. Save your changes - DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, but usually completes within a few minutes

​
Cloudflare Proxy

If you’re using a {your-name}.doploy.site domain, the Cloudflare Proxy option is enabled by default. This provides additional protection for your instance including DDoS protection and caching. You can disable the Cloudflare Proxy if needed, but we recommend keeping it enabled for the added security and performance benefits.
