Custom domains

Every project gets a https://<project>.servano.io subdomain automatically. On any paid plan you can also serve your app from your own domain with automatically provisioned SSL.

Adding a domain

  1. Open your project → Domains → Add domain.
  2. Enter the domain (yourdomain.com or app.yourdomain.com).
  3. Create the DNS records shown in the wizard with your DNS provider:
CNAME   www              cname.servano.io
A       @                95.216.0.1
TXT     _servano-verify   servano-verify=<your-token>
  1. Servano verifies the records (usually within minutes, DNS caches permitting) and issues a Let's Encrypt certificate automatically.

How verification works

  • Subdomains (app.yourdomain.com): a single CNAME to cname.servano.io is enough.
  • Apex domains (yourdomain.com): use the A record above, or an ALIAS/ANAME record if your DNS provider supports it.
  • The TXT record proves ownership and prevents domain takeover.

SSL certificates

Certificates are issued via Let's Encrypt as soon as DNS verification passes and renewed automatically ~30 days before expiry. TLS 1.2 and 1.3 are supported; traffic is redirected from HTTP to HTTPS by default.

Troubleshooting

  • Stuck on "Pending DNS" — records not visible yet. Check with dig +short yourdomain.com and remember DNS changes can take up to an hour.
  • SSL "Pending" — verification passed but issuance is in progress; this usually resolves within two minutes.
  • Cloudflare users — set the proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud) during verification; you can re-enable the proxy afterwards.
