Bolt domain guide

Connect your own domain to a Bolt.new app

Bolt.newVPSDomain

Short answer

The Bolt.new app serving from your custom domain with valid HTTPS and a stable deploy path.

Why this matters

The app works in Bolt.new but you cannot point your own domain to it with proper HTTPS.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Export and deploy the app

    Get the code out of Bolt.new and onto a server that you control.

    • Export the Bolt.new project to a GitHub repo.
    • Deploy the app on a VPS or Vercel project.
    • Confirm the app builds and runs on the server.
  2. 02

    Configure DNS and HTTPS

    Point your domain to the server and enable SSL.

    • Add an A record from your domain to the server IP.
    • Wait for DNS propagation.
    • Request and install an SSL certificate on the server.
  3. 03

    Test and switch traffic

    Verify everything works on the new domain before sending users.

    • Test all auth flows, database calls, and API routes on the new domain.
    • Update any hardcoded URLs in the app to use the new domain.
    • Monitor logs for errors during the first 24 hours.
