Deploy to a Custom Domain

Prepare a custom domain for deployment with Freestyle

Once you have verified ownership of a domain, you have the ability to deploy websites to it. However, verification is only the first step. You must also configure the domain to point to Freestyle's servers.

Single APEX Domain

If you want to deploy to an APEX domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), you need to add an A record to your domain's DNS settings. The A record should point to the IP address of the Freestyle server that will host your website.

    Type: A
    NAME: @
    VALUE: 35.235.84.134

Subdomain

If you want to deploy to a subdomain (e.g. subdomain.yourdomain.com), you need to add a A record to your domain's DNS settings. The A record should point to the Freestyle server that will host your website.

    Type: A
    NAME: subdomain
    VALUE: 35.235.84.134

All subdomains of a domain

If you want to deploy to all subdomains of a domain (e.g. *.yourdomain.com), you need to add a wildcard A record to your domain's DNS settings. The A record should point to the Freestyle server that will host your website.

    Type: A
    NAME: *
    VALUE: 35.235.84.134

When dealing with DNS records its easy to set a record like yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com on accident. The easiest way to test if the record is set correctly is to run dig domain.youexpect.com and see if it shows up.
