Usage

​
Purchasing domains

  1. Deploy your app and navigate to the Deploy icon Deployments tab
  2. Select the Domains tab
  3. Choose Buy a domain to start the search process
  4. Enter your desired domain name in the search bar
  5. Review available options across different extensions
  6. Select your preferred domain and complete the purchase
When you purchase a domain, it automatically configures to point to your Replit app. Your app becomes accessible at the custom domain instantly, with no additional setup required. You will be billed for the domain purchase through your Replit account, deducted from your account balance then applied to your usage.

​
Managing purchased domains

Your domains integrate seamlessly with your Replit Deployments:
  • Automatic renewals: Domains renew automatically to keep your apps live
  • Integrated billing: Domain costs appear on your Replit billing alongside other services
  • Transfer support: Move domains between Replit accounts or to external registrars when needed

​
Custom DNS records

For domains purchased through Replit, you can add custom DNS records to configure additional services like email providers. The following DNS record types are supported:
  • A records: Point your domain or subdomain to a specific IP address
  • TXT records: Add text-based verification records for services like email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  • MX records: MX (Mail Exchange) records tell email servers where to deliver email for your domain. Setting up MX records allows you to use your custom domain for email addresses like hello@yourdomain.com.
To manage DNS records for your purchased domain:
  1. Navigate to the Domains tab in your Deployment Deploy icon
  2. Find the domain you want to configure
  3. Select the Edit pencil icon icon
  4. Choose Add DNS Record
  5. Enter the record type, name, value, and TTL as required by your service provider

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally. Your app will continue to work normally during this propagation period.
