Connect your own domain, and projects named after your idea

New projects are named after what you describe, with a matching riverx.me address. A new Settings page on every project lets you rename it, change its address and connect domains you own.

With 2.29, a project is named after what you describe, its address matches that name, and you can connect a domain you own.

New

  • Connect your own domain. Open Settings on a published project and add a domain you own, like example.com or shop.example.com. RiverX shows the exact DNS record to add where you bought the domain, with a copy button, and keeps checking while the page is open until your site is live on it with a secure connection. You can connect more than one domain.
  • `www` works too. Adding example.com also adds www.example.com, which sends visitors on to example.com.
  • Choose your main address. Once a domain is live, make it your site's main address. The link on your project card and in the publish menu follow it.
  • Project settings. Every project in your projects now has a Settings link, where you can rename it, change its riverx.me address and manage its domains.

Improved

  • Projects are named after your idea. A new project gets a short name based on what you describe, and uses your brand name when you give one: "a website for my bakery called Sunrise Bakery" becomes Sunrise Bakery, at sunrise-bakery.riverx.me. If that address is already taken, a few letters are added to the end. A project started from the templates page without a description still takes the template's name.
  • Change your riverx.me address. The address field tells you as you type whether an address is free. Changing it moves your published site to the new address, and the old one stops working. Projects you already have keep their current address until you change it.
  • Rename a project without changing its address.

Fixed

  • Choosing a riverx.me address that another site already used could look saved while your site didn't work there. You now see that the address is taken.
