Managing Domains on Containers

You can connect multiple domains or subdomains to a single container, for instance, you could run the same container on example.com, example.net, and hello.example.com. It’s a very simple process within the Webslice Console to add or remove domains, just remember you will also need to update DNS records to point each domain to your containers IP address.

Adding, Updating & Removing Domains

To manage the domains or aliases associated with a container,

1. From the main Containers screen, open the container you want to manage.
2. Open the container’s Settings tab.
3. Scroll down to the Domains section and click Edit Domains.

Note

For every domain you add, you will to configure DNS records to point to your containers IP address. If you’re not sure how to do this, your domain provider will be able to help.
