Hi all Anyone know if we can effectively allow our users to connect their own domain name using CNAME record to our app? Ideally we don’t want to use Sub-apps because we use multiple auth systems that require domain hardcoding. Anyone had any experience with this or how it would work? Reece

This thread and this particular reply might be helpful? [image] Showing IP Address for individual User Pages App Organization What you’re talking about is commonly referred to as domain forwarding. It isn’t done purely through DNS records. Most domain registrars allow forwarding to specific URLs and the interfaces are different for each one. So you don’t need an IP address for this, just the destination URL and pointers to the documentation for common registrars. Here’s a Google search that might help you: https://www.google.com/search?q=forward+a+domain+to+webpage&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

Would love to see answer to this question as I have the same question.

We have it working with a simple redirect on the name providers end. The interesting question is this … How can Bubble tell that it is a redirect ? As Bubble sees the URL as the “main” URL. I can set up meta etc on the redirect, but it would be really helpful to be able to workout where I came from.

Going to bump this up - currently its becoming mission critical for our SaaS and CNAME domain white labelling is an industry standard for SaaS. Given bubble is a programming language for the future, whereby SaaS is being built on it constantly, it seems like something that should be supported. Intersted to hear @emmanuel @neerja ideas on this one

@help We understand your interest but cannot guarantee a timeline. The workaround for now is to do this manually.

Would love this feature as well. I had to hold off one one saas I was building because of this limitation myself.

I have some simple SAAS projects I would like to create, limitation for CNAME/Domain redirection for clients is a limitation that should definitely be on the roadmap.

[image] neerja: The workaround for now is to do this manually. Can you explain please ? I am not sure you can even do it manually. If you do a CNAME redirect to anything related to bubble (and even flattening the cname using cloudflare, so it should be dynamically finding the IP of the end name) then you get the “You’ve pointed xxxxx.com to Bubble, but we don’t have an application …”.

Sorry for the confusion, there is no CNAME workaround here. The manual fix is to create sub-apps or app copies then add a separate (sub)domain on each using A records.

This is not a great option when building for example a SAAS Invoice system :wink:
