Use a custom domain

Serve your Pro app from your own hostname with Cloudflare for SaaS.

Custom domains are a Pro feature, with one hostname per app. Only the app owner can manage them, in Console → Settings → Custom domain.

  1. Add the domain in the Console card.
  2. At your DNS provider, point a CNAME from your hostname to domains.outer.now.
  3. Add the TXT ownership and certificate records exactly as shown.
  4. Press Refresh until the status turns active.
Status What it means
pending The hostname or certificate is not validated yet. Check the DNS records, then refresh.
active The domain serves your app.
failed Validation stalled. The reason names the fix: repair DNS and refresh, or remove and re-add.

The status badges read live from Cloudflare. Subdomains work anywhere; an apex domain needs a provider with CNAME flattening.

Renaming your app keeps its domain, since the binding follows the app. Downgrading to Free or deleting the app removes it.

Agent reference: Serve from a custom domain.
