What is DomainDock?
DomainDock gives your projects clean, memorable web addresses with HTTPS, without ever touching DNS records, certificates, or proxy configuration by hand.
Point an address like myapp.digitalweb.host at a server you run, switch on SSL and DomainDock wires up everything needed to serve it securely on the internet.
Core concepts
DomainDock is built around two simple ideas:
- Projects: a container that groups related domains together, for example one project per app or per environment. Each account can hold up to 10 projects.
- Domains: a single address (like
shop.digitalweb.host) that forwards visitors to your app. You choose the address and where your app runs: a server's IP address and port, or an existing domain.
What DomainDock handles for you
As soon as you add a domain, DomainDock automatically:
- Tests the connection to your app first and explains any problem before you create anything.
- Publishes the address so it resolves worldwide.
- Routes incoming traffic to your app, served over HTTPS with a certificate that renews itself.
- Checks every few minutes that your app answers and tells you in plain language when it doesn't.
- Shows visitors a clear status page, instead of a browser error, if your app is unreachable.
You never edit a DNS zone, run a certificate command, or restart anything, it all happens in the background, usually within a minute.
