Domain & DNS Setup

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Pointing a custom domain name at your deployed backend — configuring DNS records so a subdomain like api.yourdomain.com resolves to your hosting provider.

How to Learn This

  • 1Point a subdomain you own at a deployed API using a CNAME or A record.
  • 2Learn the difference between an A record (IP address) and CNAME (another domain name).
  • 3Understand DNS propagation delay — changes aren't always instant.
