Custom domains are available on Nixopus Cloud Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.
Every app on Nixopus Cloud gets a *.nixopus.ai subdomain automatically. You can also connect your own domain for a branded experience.

​
Add a custom domain

1

Open Domains

Click Domains in the sidebar.
2

Add your domain

Click Add Domain and enter your domain name (e.g., app.yourcompany.com).
3

Configure DNS

Nixopus shows a DNS setup wizard. Create a CNAME record (for subdomains) or an ALIAS/ANAME record (for root domains) pointing to the target Nixopus provides.

4

Verify

Click Verify to check DNS propagation. Once verified, Nixopus issues an SSL certificate automatically via Let’s Encrypt.

​
Domain status

Each domain shows a status badge:
StatusMeaning
PendingDNS not yet verified
ActiveDNS verified, SSL issued, traffic routing
ErrorDNS misconfigured or SSL provisioning failed
Use the Refresh action to re-check DNS and SSL status at any time.

​
How it works

Nixopus Cloud runs an edge layer that routes traffic to your environment. When a request hits your custom domain:
  1. The edge resolves it to your environment based on the DNS record.
  2. SSL is terminated at the edge with an auto-provisioned certificate.
  3. Traffic is forwarded to your running container.
Certificate renewal is automatic — you don’t manage it.

​
Removing a domain

From the Domains page, click Remove on any domain. Traffic to that domain stops immediately. Don’t forget to clean up the DNS record on your registrar.
