Using custom domains with Strapi Cloud

Last updated: May 5, 2025

Custom domains do not apply to the URLs of uploaded assets. Uploaded assets keep the Strapi Cloud project-based URL; it is not currently possible to alter the assets URL

You can configure a custom domain for your Strapi CMS through Strapi Cloud. Follow these steps to set up your domain:

  1. Navigate to the Settings page in your Cloud dashboard

  2. Find the custom domain configuration section

  3. Configure your CNAME DNS record

    • Your application will be accessible through your custom domain immediately after configuration

Important: If you use Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS records on your top-level domain, you'll need to add additional values to enable SSL certificate generation.

The following situations require CAA record updates:

  • You have existing CAA records configured

  • You need SSL certificates for your custom domain

  • You want Strapi Cloud to manage certificates automatically

For detailed instructions about custom domains and CAA configuration, visit our Strapi Cloud domain setup guide.
