How to add a custom domain

Learn how to connect your custom domain to your Floot app

Connect your own domain (like yourapp.com) to your Floot app to give it a professional, branded URL.

1

Add your domain in Floot

  1. Go to your app's Publish tab in Floot

  2. Click Add Custom Domain

  3. Enter your domain name (e.g., yourapp.com)

2

Add DNS records to your domain

Floot will show you DNS records to add to your domain's DNS settings.

Make sure to add ALL DNS records shown by Floot.

Each record is required for your domain to work correctly.

Where to add these:

  • Log into your DNS provider (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.)

  • Go to DNS settings and add the records exactly as shown in Floot

Important notes:

  • If using Cloudflare, turn OFF the proxy (orange cloud) for these records

  • Some providers call CNAME records "Alias" or "ANAME" records

  • Copy the values exactly as shown - they're case-sensitive

  • If you get an error because there's an existing record, delete it first before adding the Floot record

Can't add a CNAME record for your root domain (@)?

Many DNS providers don't allow CNAME records for the root domain. If your provider doesn't let you add the @ CNAME record, we recommend moving your DNS to Cloudflare (a reputable DNS provider that supports this).

Cloudflare provides a guided flow that makes this easy - it typically takes just 5 minutes to migrate your DNS over. Simply:

  1. Sign up at cloudflare.com

  2. Add your domain and follow their setup wizard

  3. Update your nameservers at your domain registrar to use Cloudflare's nameservers

  4. Then return to add the Floot DNS records in Cloudflare

3

Continue on Floot (do not skip this step!)

  1. After adding the DNS records, click Continue in Floot

  2. Floot will verify your DNS is set up correctly (may take up to 15 minutes)

  3. Once verified, your domain will be added to your app

4

Your domain is live!

Once setup is complete:

  • Your app will be accessible at your custom domain

  • Both yourapp.com and www.yourapp.com will work

It can take up to 24 hours for your domain to work everywhere, although often it's much faster. This is normal and depends on your DNS provider. If it takes longer than this, contact our support for help.
