Use your own domain or subdomain for your HelloLeo projects. Perfect for production deployments and branding.

​
Domain Options

​
Default Subdomain

Every project gets an automatic subdomain:
  • Format: your-project-uuid.live.helloleo.dev
  • No configuration needed
  • Works immediately after deployment

​
Custom Subdomain

Choose your own subdomain:
  • Format: myproject.live.helloleo.dev
  • Must be unique and available
  • Follows naming rules (lowercase, numbers, hyphens)

​
Custom Domain

Use your own domain:
  • Format: app.yourdomain.com
  • Requires DNS configuration
  • Full control over your domain

​
Setting Up a Custom Domain

  1. Choose your domain - Decide on the subdomain or domain name
  2. Configure DNS - Set up domain redirects (detailed process coming soon)
  3. Enter in settings - Add domain in Project Settings
  4. Deploy - Your project will be accessible at your domain

​
Domain Requirements

  • Subdomains: 1-63 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
  • Cannot start/end with hyphen
  • Must be unique - Not already in use by another project
  • Reserved names: www, api, admin, mail, ftp, localhost, test, staging, dev, app

​
DNS Configuration Details

Type: A
Name: @ (or subdomain like "app")
Value: [Server IP - contact support]
TTL: 3600 (or default)

​
Option 2: CNAME Record

Type: CNAME
Name: @ (or subdomain like "app")
Value: live.helloleo.dev
TTL: 3600 (or default)
Note: Some registrars don’t allow CNAME on root domain (@). Use A record for root domains.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Domain Verification Fails

  • Check DNS propagation: Use tools like dig or nslookup to verify DNS is resolving
  • Wait for propagation: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours
  • Verify record type: Ensure A or CNAME record is correctly configured
  • Check domain format: Ensure no typos in domain name

​
SSL Certificate Generation Fails

  • DNS not propagated: Wait longer for DNS to propagate
  • Invalid DNS configuration: Verify A/CNAME record points correctly
  • Domain already in use: Check if domain is used by another project
  • Contact support: If issues persist, contact HelloLeo support

​
Domain Not Working After Setup

  • Check deployment status: Ensure project is deployed and live
  • Verify SSL certificate: Check if certificate was generated successfully
  • DNS propagation: May need to wait longer for full propagation
  • Clear browser cache: Try accessing in incognito mode
