Lovable domain guide

Connect your own domain to a Lovable app with HTTPS

LovableVPSDomain

Short answer

The Lovable app serving from your domain with valid HTTPS and a repeatable deploy path.

Why this matters

Your app lives on a Lovable subdomain and you cannot point your own domain to it with HTTPS.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Point DNS to the production server

    Configure your domain registrar to point to the VPS that will host the app.

    • Set an A record from your domain to the VPS IP address.
    • Wait for DNS propagation before requesting SSL.
    • Verify DNS resolves correctly from the server using dig or nslookup.
  2. 02

    Configure HTTPS on the server

    Set up SSL termination so traffic between users and the server is encrypted.

    • Use your deploy panel or reverse proxy to request an SSL certificate.
    • Enable automatic renewal so HTTPS does not expire.
    • Test the certificate chain with an online SSL checker.
  3. 03

    Cutover and verify

    Switch traffic to the new domain and confirm everything works.

    • Update all callback URLs, auth redirects, and webhook endpoints to the new domain.
    • Rebuild the app with production env vars pointing to the new domain.
    • Test signup, login, database writes, and any payment flows on the live domain.
