Domains and DNS

You can attach your own domain to a WordPress app from the dashboard and then point the required DNS records at Wasmer.

Add the domain in Wasmer

  1. Open your app in the Wasmer dashboard.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Select Domains in the sidebar.
  4. Enter the domain you want to use and click Add.
  5. Choose the routing option you want.
  6. Mark the domain as the default once verified if you want it to be your primary hostname.

In most cases, the recommended option is to add www.yourdomain.com and redirect the root domain to it.

After the domain is added, follow the DNS records shown in the modal.

  1. Copy the exact values shown by Wasmer.
  2. Create the required records at your DNS provider.
  3. Wait for DNS propagation.
  4. Return to the Wasmer dashboard and click Refresh.

In the common setup shown above:

  • The root domain uses an A record
  • The www domain uses a CNAME record

If you use Cloudflare, disable the Cloudflare proxy during validation to avoid verification issues.
