Add and verify a domain

You can add your own domains and subdomains to Northflank to use with your deployed service's public ports.

Domains and subdomains are verified on your Northflank account, so once added you can reassign them to any public port for any deployment on your account.

If you use OVH, Cloudflare, NS1, or Namecheap, check our specific guides for these domain registrars.
