Domains

Every Chevereto Cloud application starts with a free sub-domain. However, you can choose to use your own brand identity at any time.

Chevereto.app domain

This is your application's built-in address, available immediately without any configuration. Use it to get started right away or as a permanent home for your application.

  • Go to your Application Settings.
  • Enter the new name you want for your chevereto.app domain.
  • Confirm changes.

Custom domain

Point your own domain to your application for a fully branded experience, such as media.yourbrand.com.

If you do not own a custom domain yet, register one with a domain and DNS provider first. We recommend providers that support CNAME flattening (also called ANAME or ALIAS), such as Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, and DNSimple.

In your Application Settings, enter your custom domain name and save. This registers the domain and starts the DNS check. You can do this before or after updating your DNS records.

Point your domain

At your DNS provider, add or update a record so your domain points to app.chevereto.cloud.

Verify domain ownership

Your application Custom domain settings show an Ownership Verification TXT record, named _chevereto-challenge. followed by your domain, with a value unique to your application. Add this record at your DNS provider exactly as shown.

Keep this record in place for as long as you use the domain for your application. If the record goes missing, we will email you and your application keeps the domain for 7 days. After that, or if another application proves ownership of the domain while your record is missing, the domain is released from your application.

SSL certificate

Once your domain is verified and points to app.chevereto.cloud, the SSL certificate is issued and renewed automatically. Please allow a few minutes after the DNS change before connecting via HTTPS.

If your domain has CAA records, they must allow the certificate authorities used for issuance: letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and ssl.com. See Cloudflare certificate authorities for details.

Domains

Apex domains

Custom domains work with any subdomain (for example, media.yourbrand.com). Apex domains (for example, yourbrand.com) are supported for DNS providers that support CNAME/alias flattening (also called ANAME or ALIAS records).

Not every DNS provider supports flattening. Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, and DNSimple are examples of providers that do.

Confirm support with your provider before using an apex domain.

DNS propagation

DNS changes are usually propagated almost instantly. However, in some cases your browser or ISP may temporarily cache the previous DNS resolution, which can make it seem like your domain isn't working yet even after your records are correctly configured.

If your domain doesn't resolve right away, try again using a different browser, a private/incognito window, or another network connection (such as mobile data) before assuming there's an issue with your setup.
