Can I use Heroku with my own domain name?
Yes, Heroku allows users to connect their own custom domain names to their applications hosted on the platform. This process involves configuring the domain settings and adding the custom domain within the Heroku dashboard for the specific application. In general, a user needs to set up a Domain Name System (DNS) record with their domain registrar to point to Heroku's provided DNS target.
Heroku offers support for both root and subdomain mappings, and users can configure multiple domains for a single application if needed. Once the DNS changes have propagated, the application should be accessible via the custom domain.
It is important to check Heroku's documentation for detailed instructions on how to configure custom domains effectively, as there may be specific requirements or considerations related to the plan being used. Moreover, users should ensure that their domain registrar's DNS settings are properly set to avoid any downtime. For additional information, it may be helpful to visit the relevant pages on Heroku's official website.
