Configure Root Domain
To add a custom subdomain to an application in Nullstone, you must first configure the root domain. This process involves configuring your domain registrar to point to a DNS zone that is created in your cloud provider.
Create DNS Zone
Create a Domain in the Domains section of Nullstone. Once created, click Launch on the Domain Details screen to create the DNS zone in your cloud provider.
Configure Domain Registrar
To finalize the process, you will need to forward DNS requests from your domain registrar to the newly-created DNS zone from the previous step. To do this, add NS records to your domain with the nameservers listed in the domain details section. See Registrar-specific instructions below.
Verify Domain
Once you have added NS records to your domain, revisit the Nullstone UI and click "Verify" in the details page of your domain. Once successful, you will be ready to create and launch subdomains in Nullstone.
WARNING
It can take several minutes for DNS changes to propagate. Use DNS Checker with the domain name and NS record type to verify your nameservers have propagated.
