Custom domains
Pointing your own domain at a platform, and the TXT record that proves it is yours.
A platform answers at its own Alodai address out of the box. You can put your own domain in front of it.
The sequence
- Add the domain to the platform. You get back a verification value to publish.
- Publish it as a TXT record on your domain's DNS.
- Ask for verification. The platform performs a DNS TXT lookup and compares what it finds with what it issued.
Until that lookup matches, the domain is not served. There is no way to skip step 3 — a domain that has not answered for itself in DNS is a domain someone else might own.
The record can be placed on the domain you added or at the root; both are checked. DNS changes take as long as your provider takes to publish them, so a verification that fails immediately after you add the record is usually just early — try again once the record is visible to a public resolver.
Adding, verifying, reading and removing a custom domain are four operations in the core reference, and all four require an operator session.
