Add a domain

Custom domains must be added to an environment’s VIP Dashboard in order to be used for launching a site or sending emails from an environment with that domain. After adding a custom domain, the domain must also be verified before DNS settings can be provided and a Let’s Encrypt certificate can be installed.

Access

Prerequisites

To add a domain to an application’s environment, a user must have at minimum an Org member role or an App write role for that application.

Domains have specific application and environment associations.

  1. Navigate to the VIP Dashboard for the application that the domain should be associated with.
  2. Select the environment that the new domain will point to (e.g., production, develop) from the dropdown located at the upper left of the dashboard.
  3. Select “Domains & TLS” from the sidebar navigation at the left of the screen.

Add a domain

Within the “Domains & TLS” panel of an environment’s VIP Dashboard:

  1. Select the “Add Domain” button located in the upper right.
  2. Enter the domain into the available field and select “Add“.

Within 10 minutes the added domain will appear in the list of domains associated with the environment.

After a domain has been added, the domain must be verified before DNS instructions can be accessed and before a Let’s Encrypt certificate can be installed. Only verified domains can be used for launching a site or sending emails.

Remove a domain

Remove a domain only after confirming that the domain is no longer being used to route public traffic to a site on the environment, and it is not being used to send emails from the environment.

Within the “Domains & TLS” panel of an environment’s VIP Dashboard:

  1. Select the “•••” button located to the right of the domain.
  2. Select “Remove” from the overflow menu.
  3. Select the button labeled “Confirm” to complete the removal.
