Domains and SSL

Every app on Hostim.dev can be accessed using either a built-in subdomain or your own custom domain. SSL certificates are provided automatically for secure HTTPS access.

Built-in domains​

When you create an app, Hostim assigns it a default subdomain like: random-string.hostim.dev

This domain is ready to use immediately. You can access your app as soon as it finishes deploying.

Custom domains​

You can add your own domain name to any app. Hostim will handle the SSL setup automatically.

How to add a custom domain​

  1. Open your app in the dashboard
  2. Go to the Domains tab
  3. Enter your custom domain (e.g. app.example.com) under Add new domain
  4. Click Save Domain
  5. Update your DNS provider to add an A record which would point to the specified IP address.

Once the DNS is verified, your domain will go live with a free SSL certificate.

SSL and HTTPS​

Hostim automatically provides HTTPS for:

  • All built-in domains
  • Any verified custom domain

Certificates are issued and renewed using Let's Encrypt. No manual setup is required.

Notes​

  • Domains must be unique across all projects
  • SSL is always enabled – HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS
  • You can remove or replace domains at any time
