Use your own domain name like myapp.com instead of a ClodHost subdomain. It only takes a few minutes.
ClodHost uses Cloudflare to manage DNS and SSL for your custom domains. When you add a domain, ClodHost:
All you need to do is buy a domain and point its nameservers to Cloudflare. ClodHost handles the rest.
You do not need to create any A records, CNAME records, or SSL certificates yourself. ClodHost does all of that for you. You just need to change your domain's nameservers at your registrar.
If you don't already have a domain, buy one from any registrar:
| Registrar | Price (.com/year) | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Nameserver changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours to propagate. Use the "Re-check nameservers" button in the Add Domain dialog to check again.
Once all three checklist items are green, click "Add Domain". ClodHost will:
