Custom Domains
You can add a custom domain to any environment. Podway automatically provisions a TLS certificate via Let’s Encrypt.
Adding a custom domain
- Go to your environment’s detail page
- Click the Domains tab
- Click Add domain
- Enter your domain (e.g.
api.yourdomain.com) - Click Add
Verifying ownership
After adding a domain, you must verify ownership by adding a TXT record to your DNS:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Name | _podway-verify.{your-domain} |
| Value | Shown in the dashboard |
Once added, click Verify in the dashboard.
Pointing DNS to Podway
After verification, point your domain to Podway:
For subdomains (e.g. api.yourdomain.com):
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME |
| Name | api |
| Value | gateway.podway.dev |
For apex domains (e.g. yourdomain.com):
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | A |
| Name | @ |
| Value | 62.146.235.68 |
TLS certificate
Podway automatically provisions a TLS certificate for your domain after verification. This may take a few minutes. You can check the status on the Domains tab.
Limitations
HSTS preloaded TLDs (.dev, .app, .page) are not supported for custom domains due to browser security restrictions. Use .com, .net, .org, or .io domains instead.
