Overview

Every web service and site on Miget automatically gets a free migetapp.com domain, which remains stable and unchanging.

You can also easily bring your own domains to Miget. While we don't currently support Let's Encrypt directly, you can upload your own TLS certificates manually or use Cloudflare, or any other CDN/WAF, to manage automated TLS certificates and renewals through your upstream provider. Cloudflare offers a free tier that's suitable for most use cases.

Note

Please note that Miget is actively working to provide automatic Cloudflare-managed TLS certificates for all Miget customers in the near future!

Adding a Custom Domain

First, if you haven't done so already, create a New App on Miget. Then go to the Settings tab and check Domains section further down the page:

Domains

Click Add Custom Domain and enter your custom domain.

Note

If you add a domain containing www, thats fine. If you need a root domain (an appex domain) without the www, please create another record under Domains.

You should now see the following with a DNS target to update DNS settings with your DNS provider:

example.org

Note When Using Cloudflare With Wildcard Domains

All Miget services include Cloudflare’s DDoS protection. However, due to technical limitations with how Cloudflare handles wildcard DNS records, there are specific conditions that may prevent you from using your own Cloudflare account while your site is hosted on Miget. If you add a wildcard domain (e.g., *.example.com) to Miget but do not add the base domain (e.g., example.com), using Cloudflare with proxying enabled (orange cloud) will route traffic for the base domain to the same Miget origin as your wildcard domain. To avoid service disruptions, make sure to disable proxying for your base domain (gray cloud). For further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at hello@miget.com.

Configuring DNS to Point to Miget

At this stage, you'll need to work with your DNS provider to add CNAME, ANAME, ALIAS, or A records pointing to Miget. We provide instructions for common DNS providers below:

Warning

Be sure to remove any existing AAAA records for your domains when updating your DNS settings. AAAA records map a domain to IPv6 addresses, but Miget does not yet support IPv6. Keeping AAAA records may cause conflicts with Miget hosting your custom domains.
