In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
  • Connect a domain you already own to your Rocket app.
  • Configure DNS settings with your domain provider.
  • Make your app live at a custom URL.

You’ll need:
  • Your project open and ready to publish.
  • Access to your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains).
