Quick Start

Your first live domain

This guide takes you from an empty dashboard to a working, secured domain. You'll need the public IP address and port of a server that runs your app.

Step 1: Create a project

1. Open your dashboard and click New Project.
2. Give it a name, for example My API, and click Create Project.
3. You'll land back on your projects list with the new project ready to open.

Step 2: Add a domain

Open the project, stay on the Domains tab, and click Add Domain. Fill in the form:

• Domain Address: the prefix for your address, e.g. api, which becomes api.digitalweb.host. Availability is checked as you type.
• Target IP: the public IPv4 address of your server, e.g. 203.0.113.10.
• Port: the port your app listens on, e.g. 3000.
• Enable SSL (HTTPS): leave this on to serve your domain securely over https://.

Then click Add & Provision.

Step 3: Wait for it to go live

Your new domain appears as PENDING, moves to PROVISIONING, and then to ACTIVE, usually within a minute. Once it's active, open https://api.digitalweb.host and you'll see your app. Use the copy button beside the domain to grab the full address.
