Domains

A domain is the address used to access your Globe-hosted project. Each project is assigned a unique domain (e.g., your-project.globeapp.dev).

You can also link your own custom domain (e.g., your-app.com) with built-in HTTPS, DNS verification, and integration with your production deployment.

Supported Domain Types

Preview Deployment DomainUnique URLs for each preview deploymentrandom-string.globeapp.dev
Custom DomainsYour own branded domains linked to your projectyour-app.com

How to Add a Custom Domain

Step 1: Configure DNS with Your Registrar

Before adding your domain to Globe:

  1. Log in to your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare)
  2. Find the DNS management section
  3. Add a CNAME record pointing your domain to domains.globeapp.dev
  4. Save your changes

DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate globally, though most updates happen within an hour.

Step 2: Add Your Domain in Globe

  1. From your Globe dashboard, go to the Domains section
  2. Select Add Domain
  3. Enter your domain name (e.g. www.your-app.com)
  4. Select the project you want to link to this domain
  5. Click Next and then Create

Step 3: Verify Your Domain

After adding your domain, Globe will attempt to verify it. The domain status may change as the setup progresses:

  • Active: Domain is linked, and SSL is enabled
  • Pending Verification: DNS changes are still updating (can take up to 24 hours)
  • Verification Failed: DNS records are missing or incorrect

How to Manage Domains

To view and manage your domains:

  • Open the Domains tab in your project dashboard
  • Check the list of connected domains and their current status
  • To remove a domain, select Delete from the options menu
  • You can add, update, or reassign domains at any time

Best Practices

  • Use a subdomain (www. or app.) if your root domain hosts other services
  • Configure DNS before adding your domain to Globe
  • Use descriptive domain names for better clarity and branding
  • Limit frequent DNS changes to avoid propagation delays
