Custom domains

Legacy: This page documents Filebase's IPFS tier. For new deployments, use the S3-compatible object storage tier with the s3.filebase.io endpoint.

Custom domains are available on paid plans (Starter, Pro, Unlimited). On the free plan, sites are reachable only at <site-name>.myfilebase.site.

Add a custom domain​

  1. Open the site in the console.

  2. Settings → Custom Domain → Add Domain.

  3. Enter your hostname (e.g. www.example.com).

  4. Filebase shows you the required CNAME target.

  5. At your DNS provider, add a CNAME record:

www.example.com.    CNAME   <site-name>.myfilebase.site.
  1. Wait for DNS propagation (typically a few minutes).
  2. Filebase verifies the CNAME and auto-provisions a Let's Encrypt TLS certificate.

Once issued, the site is reachable at https://www.example.com/.

Root domains​

For root domains (e.g. example.com), use an ALIAS or ANAME record. Most modern DNS providers (Cloudflare, Route 53, DNSimple) support root-domain flattening; check your provider's docs.

TLS renewal​

Filebase auto-renews Let's Encrypt certificates. As long as the DNS record stays valid, no action is required from you.
