Custom domains and SSL

Platform URL vs custom domain

• Platform URL — e.g. my-project.platform-domain when the platform admin configured Cloudflare DNS.
• Custom domain — your own hostname with Let’s Encrypt on the VPS.

Open the branch → Domain tab. You need the ADMIN role.

Add a custom domain

1. Create DNS:
   • CNAME to the platform hostname, or
   • A record to the VPS public IP.
2. In WayHost Domain tab, enter the hostname → Add domain.
3. WayHost requests a Let’s Encrypt certificate (HTTP-01). Port 80 on the VPS must be reachable from the internet.

Cloudflare proxy tip

If the hostname is orange-cloud proxied, switch to DNS only while issuing the certificate, then use Fix SSL and re-enable proxy if you want Cloudflare in front.

Repair routing

If the platform subdomain returns 404 while a custom domain works (or the reverse), use Repair routing on the Domain tab to rewrite nginx/stack host config.

Remove

Remove the domain in WayHost when finished. DNS records are left for you to delete manually.
