Lovable makes it easy to publish your project to the web, either on a free lovable staging subdomain (e.g. yoursite.lovable.app) or your own custom domain. This guide walks you through how to connect your domain, troubleshoot common issues, and understand your options across different hosting providers.

​
Why use a custom domain

Connecting a custom domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) improves your site’s:
  • Brand identity - looks more professional
  • Search engine visibility - better SEO
  • Memorability - easier to share and remember

Authorize with Entri

Follow the prompts to log in to your provider and authorize access for Entri to update your DNS settings.
