Custom Domains

Publish to a custom domain

Publishing to a custom domain is available with the Thunkable Business or Team plan.

Configure your domain

You need to configure your domain before you can publish your app to that domain. To do so, add the Thunkable IP address (34.136.177.42) to the A record of your domain which you can usually find in the DNS section of your domain provider.

Here are the instructions from some popular domain name providers:

• Namecheap

• AWS

• Digital Ocean

• Google Domains

• GoDaddy

DNS synchronization often takes less than an hour but may take up to 72 hours. If your domain is not connecting within 48 hours, we recommend the following troubleshooting steps:

• Confirm the IP address added to your A record is the correct IP (34.136.177.42).

• Ensure you are using http:// and not https://.
