Domains and TLS
How hostnames select deployments and where to configure DNS, certificates, and HTTPS.
A hostname on Easel selects which deployment answers the request. Production domains point at the Current Production deployment. Preview and unique deployment URLs point at specific immutable deployments.
Hostname types
| Type | Role |
|---|---|
| Apex or subdomain custom domain | Serves the Current Production deployment after DNS and TLS are ready |
| Deployment URL | Serves one immutable deployment |
| Preview URL | Serves the latest Ready deployment for a branch or pull request |
| Redirect domain | Forwards traffic to another hostname |
