Custom domains

Every service can get a free subdomain, but real apps want real domains.

Bring your own

bootload domain add myapp.com
# → prints a TXT (or CNAME) record to create
bootload domain list      # shows pending → verified
bootload deploy --image ... --domain www.myapp.com

Create the verification record at your DNS provider; verification usually completes within minutes (we re-check continuously — DNS propagation delays don't fail you). Once verified, any subdomain of the domain works in --domain.

Buy through bootload

bootload domain search myapp.com     # live availability + price
bootload domain buy myapp.com --autorenew

Charged from your wallet at registrar cost + €2. Registered domains are born verified — deploy on them immediately. Renewal is automatic when --autorenew is on and your wallet covers it (you'll get runway warnings long before it can't).

TLS

Certificates are issued and renewed automatically for every routed domain — BYO and registered alike. Cert status is visible in bootload status (tls=issued/pending/failed, with the error when something's wrong, e.g. DNS not pointing at us yet).
