Stop sending cryptic deploy URLs.
DomainDock (Digital WebHost) gives every project a clean, professional custom domain with automatic SSL, instant routing and managed DNS. It goes live in under 30 seconds and is free forever.
Overview
Every modern platform gives you a deploy URL, and almost none of them look like something you would send to a client. DomainDock, home at digitalweb.host, turns those long, hashed URLs into clean, professional domains in seconds.
Claim a project slug on digitalweb.host or bring your own domain, then point it at any IP and port. DomainDock runs a five-stage pipeline for you: it reserves the name, provisions DNS on Cloudflare's anycast network, adds host-based routing to a Traefik reverse proxy, issues and installs a TLS certificate, and starts health-checking your upstream.
Every route is HTTPS-only with HSTS, certificates renew automatically before they expire, and transient failures are retried with exponential back-off. Tenants are isolated from one another, and the dashboard shows each route as ACTIVE, DEGRADED or DOWN in real time.
No nginx files, no certbot cron jobs, no DNS tickets. You don't have to think about the infrastructure, and it is free forever.
✓ slug reserved my-app.digitalweb.host✓ DNS record created · Cloudflare anycast✓ route added · Traefik → 10.0.4.12:3000✓ TLS certificate issued · HSTS on● health: ACTIVE · 42mslive in 27s: https://my-app.digitalweb.hostFeatures
Unlimited project subdomains on digitalweb.host, or connect a domain you already own.
TLS certificates issued, installed and renewed automatically; every route is HTTPS-only.
Traefik host-header routing to any IP:port target, updated with zero downtime.
DNS records are created for you on Cloudflare's global network, so there is nothing to set up by hand.
Continuous upstream probes and latency tracking with live ACTIVE / DEGRADED / DOWN status.
Background workers with exponential back-off retries and strict tenant isolation.
How it works
Create a free account and reserve your project slug. Availability is checked in real time.
Enter the IP and port (or deployment) your app runs on. DNS, routing and TLS are provisioned automatically.
HTTPS is live in under 30 seconds. Send a URL you are proud of.
Use cases
Built for developers shipping side projects, freelancers & agencies, teams sharing client demos, hackathon builders.
Send client-name.digitalweb.host instead of a long, hashed preview URL.
Give every experiment a memorable HTTPS address without buying a domain.
Expose any IP:port with TLS and routing, with no nginx or certbot to maintain.
Go from localhost-quality to a shareable, secure URL in under a minute.
