Configuring Custom Domains

Map your own domain (e.g., api.yourstartup.com) to your Nolxy Proxy to provide a branded experience for your users.

Plan Requirement

Custom Domains are available on Starter plans and above.

1Add Your Domain

  1. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Custom Domains.
  2. Click the "Add Domain" button.
  3. Enter your desired hostname (e.g., gateway.mysite.com).

2Verify Ownership (TXT Record)

To prevent abuse, we must verify you own the domain.

1. Get your Verification Token

After adding the domain, you will see a token like:

nolxy-verification=8f39...

2. Add DNS Record

Log in to your DNS Provider (Cloudflare, AWS, GoDaddy) and add a TXT record:

Type:TXTName:_nolxy-verifyValue:nolxy-verification=8f39...TTL:Lowest possible (e.g., 60s)

Wait a few minutes for propagation, then click Verify in the Nolxy Dashboard.

3Point Traffic (CNAME Record)

Once verified, point your traffic to Nolxy.
