Connect a domain
Add your domain to a project, publish the DNS records Orizon shows you, and your app is served and secured on it within minutes.
Add the domain
Open your project's Domainstab and add a domain. Orizon shows the exact records to create, which depend on whether it's an apex domain or a subdomain.
DNS records
- Apex domain (e.g.
example.com) — create an A record on@pointing at the node IP Orizon gives you. - Subdomain (e.g.
www.example.com) — create a CNAME pointing at your project's<slug>.apps.orizon.nghost. - Ownership — add the verification TXT record Orizon provides.
# Apex
example.com A <node-ip>
_orizon-challenge… TXT orizon-verify=<token>
# Subdomain
www.example.com CNAME <slug>.apps.orizon.ng
_orizon-challenge… TXT orizon-verify=<token>TLS
Once DNS resolves and ownership is verified, Orizon provisions a certificate automatically and starts serving your app over HTTPS. No upload, no renewal — see Automatic TLS.
Behind Cloudflare?If your domain is proxied through Cloudflare (orange cloud), Orizon detects it. For the initial certificate issuance you may need the record set to DNS-only (grey cloud) until TLS is established. Orizon's domain view shows the current proxy status.
