How to Connect a Custom Domain to Your PipeOps Project

Custom domains make your application more professional and easier for users to remember. With PipeOps, connecting your domain is fast and secure.

This guide walks you through adding a domain and updating your DNS settings so your app is accessible via your own domain name.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

  • You’ve deployed a project on PipeOps.

  • You own the domain you want to connect (e.g., via Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.).

  • You can access your DNS provider’s dashboard to edit DNS records

For this guide, we’ve deployed a project that’s currently accessible via a pipeops.app endpoint.

Step 1: Go to Your Project Settings

  • Log in to your PipeOps Dashboard

  • Select the project you want to connect the domain to

  • Navigate to Settings and select Domains from the left menu

  • Enter the full domain name (e.g., mydomain.com) in the text field that appears

custom domain

  • Click “Save”

PipeOps will generate the DNS records you need to add to your domain registrar.

 

Step 2: Update Your DNS Records

In your domain registrar’s DNS settings, add the CNAME record exactly as shown in the PipeOps dashboard.

Tip: If you're pointing a root domain (like mydomain.com), set the Host field to @.

 

Step 3: Wait for DNS Validation

After saving your DNS records, the system will automatically detect the new records and validate the domain.

It can take a few minutes to a few hours for your DNS records to propagate.

 

Testing Your Setup

Visit your custom domain in a browser. If the DNS is set up correctly, you should see your PipeOps-deployed project load securely using your domain.
