Custom Domains

Add your own domain to any Create site app

A custom domain is your own unique web address (e.g., yourbusiness.com)

You can publish for free to a created.app domain, but using a custom domain requires a Create Pro subscription. You can upgrade here.

What you'll need

• Create Pro plan

• Your own domain. You can buy one from a domain provider if you don't have one.

• An app made in Create that you want to publish to your domain

Important: After you configure the domain in Create and set up your DNS records at your domain provider, you may see it go live for up to 48 hours. It can take that long DNS to become active.

Steps to set up

• Publish your Create site or app.

• Select "Publish to a custom domain" and enter your domain

• Add these two records to your DNS provider's settings for the domain:

Type: A
Name: @
Value: 76.76.21.21

Type: CNAME
Name: www
Value: cname.vercel-dns.com

Subdomains If you already have another app or website on your main domain, you might choose to set up your Create app on a subdomain of your main domain e.g. blog.your-domain.com or app.your-domain.com

In that case, you should only set the following record in your DNS provider:

Type: A
Name: <subdomain-name> (in the above examples, either "app" or "blog"
Value: 76.76.21.21

See the specific setup instructions below for each service. If yours isn't listed or you need additional help, feel free to reach out.
