Domain

How to set up a domain for your self-hosted VitNode app.

Get a Domain

You need to get a domain name. You can buy a domain from any domain registrar like Squarespace.

Set up DNS

After you get a domain, you need to set up the DNS records. You can set up the DNS records in the domain registrar's dashboard. Read the documentation of your domain registrar to learn how to set up DNS records.

A Record

As an example we will use Cloudflare as a domain registrar and DDoS protection service. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the DNS tab and add a new A record with the address IP of your server.

VitNode works with separate subdomains for the frontend and backend. You need to set up two A records:

  • api.yourdomain.com with the IP address of your server for the backend,
  • app.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com with the IP address of your server for the frontend.
