A custom domain lets you use your own domain or subdomain for your published Lovable project. When you connect a custom domain, visitors can access your app using a branded URL instead of the default xxx.lovable.app project URL. Connecting a custom domain improves your site’s:
  • Brand identity - look more trustworthy and professional
  • Search engine visibility - better SEO and discoverability
  • Memorability - easier for users to share and remember

​
Prerequisites

To connect a custom domain, ensure that:
  • You are on a paid Lovable plan.
  • Your project is published. See Publish your app for more information.
  • You own a domain name. You can purchase one directly within Lovable (through IONOS).
  • You have access to the DNS settings for the domain or subdomain you want to connect. Ownership verification requires adding DNS A and TXT records provided by Lovable during setup.

​
Connect a custom domain

You can connect a domain to your published Lovable project using automatic setup (powered by Entri) or manual DNS configuration. Both methods require verifying ownership of your domain. You can connect a domain from two locations:
  • Project → Settings → Domains
  • Publish modal → Custom domain (can be done after publishing your project)
Follow the steps below to connect a custom domain:
  1. Click Connect domain.
  2. Enter your domain or subdomain (for example, yourdomain.com or blog.yourdomain.com), click Connect domain, then click Continue.
    When adding a domain, Lovable does not automatically add the www subdomain. You can add it separately if you want both.
  3. Now, you can connect your domain in two ways:
    • Automatic setup with Entri: Select your domain provider from the list, log in, and authorize Entri to update your DNS records.
    • Manual setup: If your DNS provider is not listed, scroll to the bottom of the Select your domain provider modal and choose Go to our manual setup. Copy the A record and TXT record and input them directly into your domain registrar.
  4. Click Done. Wait for verification and SSL certificate to be issued. When complete, the domain will become Live and your Lovable app will be live at your custom domain.
DNS changes may take up to 72 hours to propagate, though most updates are live within a few hours.

​
Domain statuses

Domains have clear statuses that reflect verification progress, DNS propagation, SSL certificate readiness, and required user action.

Primary domain

Lovable allows you to set one domain as the primary domain.
  • The domain status must be Live in order to mark it as primary. Click the three dots menu next to your domain and click Set as primary.
  • The first custom domain you add to a project automatically becomes the primary domain (for domains added after October 29, 2025).
  • If a domain is primary, all other domains redirect to it.
  • Only one domain can be primary at a time.
  • You can unset the primary domain; in that case, all connected domains serve the project equally. Click the three dots menu next to your primary domain and click Unset as primary.
