Custom domain
Connect your own domain name to give your application a professional identity. Cadrant handles DNS configuration, SSL certificate and routing automatically.
Add a domain
- Go to the Domains section from the sidebar.
- Enter your domain name (e.g.: app.mycompany.com) and click Add.
- Cadrant displays the DNS records to configure at your registrar.
Configure DNS
Two DNS records are required:
- A TXT record to validate domain ownership.
- A CNAME record (or ALIAS for a root domain) to point to Cadrant servers.
- Configure these records at your DNS provider (OVH, Cloudflare, Gandi, Namecheap, etc.).
- Validation is automatic and typically takes between a few minutes and a few hours.
SSL and hosting
- An SSL certificate is automatically provisioned once the domain is validated.
- HTTPS traffic is secured without any configuration on your part.
- Hosting is provided by AWS for optimal performance and high availability.
- DNS validation goes through Cloudflare for fast and reliable resolution.
Troubleshooting
- If validation takes more than 24h, verify that DNS records are correctly configured.
- Use a tool like dnschecker.org to check DNS propagation.
- Make sure there are no conflicting records (an old A or CNAME record on the same subdomain).
- If the problem persists, delete the domain and re-add it to get new records.
Prefer a subdomain (app.mysite.com) over a root domain (mysite.com) to avoid limitations related to CNAME records on root domains.
