How to Connect a Custom Domain to Replit

This tutorial shows how to link a custom domain to your published Replit project so it's accessible at your own URL.

Notes:

• You need a published Replit project before connecting a domain. If you haven't published yet, see How to Deploy a Flask App on Replit or any relevant deployment tutorial first.
• You need an existing domain from a registrar like Namecheap or GoDaddy. Alternatively, you can purchase a domain directly through Replit to skip the DNS setup.
• DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours after updating your records, though it often completes within 20 minutes.
• If you're using Cloudflare, turn off the DNS proxy (orange cloud icon) to prevent SSL conflicts - Replit manages its own SSL.
  

1. Sign in at replit.com and open your published project from the dashboard.
2. In your workspace, click New Tab and select Publishing.
3. Navigate to Domain and click Link a domain.
4. Enter your custom domain - for example, example.com - and click Continue. Replit generates an A record and a TXT record for your domain.
5. Log in to your domain registrar and open DNS management. Add the A record and TXT record provided by Replit.
6. Return to Replit and click Link. Once DNS propagates, your project will be live at your custom domain.
