Custom Domains

Varity Team Core Contributors Updated April 2026

Every Varity deployment gets a public URL at https://varity.app/{name}/. This guide covers how to set a custom name for that URL and manage your registered domains.

Note

External custom domain support (pointing myapp.com via DNS to your Varity deployment) is under development. This guide covers varity.app subdomain management, which is available now.

How Your Domain Is Assigned

When you run varitykit app deploy, Varity registers a subdomain at varity.app using your project’s name:

https://varity.app/{your-app-name}/

Your app name is derived from the name field in your package.json by default. You can override it with the --name flag.

Set a Custom Subdomain

Pass --name to choose your subdomain at deploy time:

varitykit app deploy --name my-app

Your app will be available at:

https://varity.app/my-app/

Naming rules

• Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
• 3–48 characters
• Must be unique across all Varity apps — first to register a name owns it
• Cannot start or end with a hyphen

Tip

Claim your name early. Subdomain names are first-come, first-served. Once you’ve registered a name, it’s yours as long as you have an active deployment.

View Your Registered Domains

List all domains registered to your account:

varitykit domains list

Output:

Your Domains (2)
┌─────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────┐
│ Subdomain   │ App URL                          │ App Name         │
├─────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ my-app      │ https://varity.app/my-app        │ my-app           │
│ my-other    │ https://varity.app/my-other      │ my-other-project │
└─────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────┘

Tip

You must be logged in to list your domains. Run varitykit login first if you see a “Not logged in” message.

Redeploy Under the Same Name

Redeploying with the same --name updates the existing deployment at that URL — your domain stays the same:

# First deploy
varitykit app deploy --name my-app

# Update the app — same URL, no re-registration needed
varitykit app deploy --name my-app

SSL / HTTPS

All varity.app subdomains are served over HTTPS automatically. No certificate setup is required. SSL is provisioned and renewed by Varity.

App Store URLs

When you submit your app to the App Store, it appears at:

https://varity.app/{name}/

The same URL is used for direct access and App Store discovery. Keep your name stable once you publish.

Bring Your Own Domain (Coming Soon)

External custom domain support is on the roadmap. When available, you’ll be able to point myapp.com (apex domain) or app.myapp.com (subdomain) at your Varity deployment with automatic SSL provisioning.

The expected setup will be:

Record Type	Name	Value
CNAME	app	varity.app
A	@	Varity IP (provided in dashboard)

Watch the changelog for availability.
