Getting an AI-built application online is exciting. But a temporary deployment URL usually isn't the final destination. If you're launching a real product, you'll probably want a custom domain.
Why Use a Custom Domain?
A custom domain makes your application easier to remember and gives your project a consistent web identity. For example, instead of using a temporary hosting address, your application can use: app.example.com or example.com
Deploy First
Before connecting your domain, make sure the application itself is running correctly. Deploy the application through Hostwares and confirm that the service is healthy.
Configure the Domain
Add your domain to the deployment and configure the required DNS records. Once DNS is correctly configured, the domain can point to your production application.
Enable HTTPS
Your production application should use HTTPS. SSL protects the connection between visitors and your application and is expected by modern browsers.
Launch Properly
Your AI tool helped build the application. Your hosting environment makes it accessible to real users.
With Hostwares, you can deploy the application and connect a custom domain for your production launch.
