Add a new domain
In smoxy Hub 2.0 you don't add domains directly. A domain appears automatically once you add a matching hostname to a zone - smoxy derives the domain from the hostnames you configure.
Recommended order: main domain first
We recommend configuring your main domain before its subdomains. When the main domain is set up, smoxy issues a wildcard SSL certificate that also covers subdomains you add later, so those subdomains don't need a separate certificate.
For example, set up example.com first, then add stage.example.com and other subdomains afterwards.
Routing test traffic through smoxy for a single subdomain is no problem. smoxy only starts serving traffic for a hostname once you point it at smoxy with a CNAME record - issuing the certificate on its own doesn't redirect any traffic.
How to add a domain
- Add a hostname to a zone. Open the Hostnames page of the zone and add the hostname you want to serve. smoxy derives the domain from that hostname.
- Issue the SSL certificate. Manage certificates on the SSL Certificates page. smoxy requests the certificate for the hostname, and a wildcard for the main domain where applicable.
- Activate the hostname. Add the CNAME record smoxy shows you to your DNS configuration. Once it resolves to smoxy, the hostname is verified and traffic is served through smoxy.
