Can Qloaked support root/apex (naked) domains?
Yes we can! We now have a global Anycast IP address which will route users to the closest entry point in our network regardless of their location. Our Apex domain support still works using DNS for the routing, but because the root domain requires an A record, it's a bit different from our standard subdomain support.
Your clients will have to do a few things to add a root domain to your account, which we will then secure and send on to your app like normal:
-
The root domain will need to create/update the DNS record and point it to this IP address: 34.120.230.5
-
Add a DNS TXT record "apex=application.domain.com" (Where application.domain.com is the application CNAME you normally use for sending domains to Qloaked. This is how we know where to route the domain)
-
Visit the domain on HTTP like normal for us to detect the traffic and start securing the domain
Please email support@qloaked.com if you have any questions or need any help.
