Deploying app to a subdomain?

Deployments
1

New Replit user. Bought a domain through Replit. First app deploys fine to the root of the domain, but what I would really like to do is keep 1 core domain (Ex. acmeproducts.com) and then deploy different apps to subdomains (Ex. app1.acmeproducts.com, app2, etc). As a personal user, buying multiple domains (one for each app) would be expensive.

Now, I’ve been going round and round with GPT trying to solve this issue for awhile … registering A records, CNAMEs, trying to connect to the subdomain, etc no dice.

I haven’t been able to find any guides on how to do this, so I’m concerned … is there a way to do this? My end goal/hope was going to be to put up a menu at the core domain to link to subapps, and then host each on subdomains.

Any guidance is appreciated!

Typically when you do this @zonearc0 you would be doing so with separate apps in Replit.

Examples:

If you are doing this in separate apps you should be good.

The key is when you are publishing to a subdomain is that you will configure the subdomain in the ‘hostname’ area. So instead of adding ‘@’ you’d add ‘app’ for app.example.com. I believe in Replit this would work where you ‘bought’ the custom domain. Perhaps from the original app where you bought it?

Thank you! I’ll try this shortly.

You can also have multiple domains on one app and route each domain to a unique slug in the app. This takes a bit of setup and coding, but it works, quite well in fact.
