CoAlias is a service that helps you manage many domains and subdomains in a simple way. It’s useful if you need to give your users or clients custom addresses while keeping your main no-code app in one place.
1. The Basics
In a typical setup, you connect one domain—say, primarydomain.com
—to your Bubble, Weweb, or Flutterflow project. That works if you only need one domain. However, if you want something like customer1.primarydomain.com
or customer-domain.com
to show the same app, you need a solution that can route multiple addresses to your single no-code platform.
This is where CoAlias helps.
2. How It Works
A. Primary Domain
You have a domain linked to your no-code app (for example, primarydomain.com
).
B. CoAlias Setup
- Sign up for CoAlias and add any new domain or subdomain you want to use.
- Update DNS so these new domains point to CoAlias instead of pointing directly to your no-code app.
C. Domain Routing
- When someone visits the new domain, CoAlias fetches data from your no-code app (the primary domain) and shows it at the new address.
- The user never sees your primary domain in the browser bar; they only see the custom address.
D. Adding Domains
- Log In to CoAlias
- Access the CoAlias dashboard with your username and password.
E. Add New Domain
Click “Add Domain,” enter the domain (for example, client1.yoursite.com
), and follow the steps shown.
F. Update DNS Records
- At your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.), point the domain to CoAlias.
- Wait for the changes to spread across the internet (often done in under an hour).
G. Confirm
- Test the new address in your browser. If it shows your no-code app, you’re set.
4. Using the API
If you run a SaaS, you can add or remove domains automatically by calling the CoAlias API. This is handy for user onboarding. Each time a new user signs up, you can create a subdomain or custom domain without any manual work.
- Bubble Plugin: If you’re on Bubble, use the CoAlias plugin.
- Other Platforms: Make standard HTTP requests to the CoAlias API from Weweb, Flutterflow, or anywhere else. See the documentation on api.coalias.com.
5. Benefits
Simple Management: All extra domains are handled in one place.
Brand Boost: Give each client a unique address while keeping your main no-code app.
No Extra Code: CoAlias connects to your existing setup, so you don’t need extra development work.
6. Get Started
Head over to CoAlias.com and create an account. Once you’ve added a domain, you’ll be on your way to offering custom addresses for your users or clients. It’s a direct approach that makes your no-code app stand out.
Conclusion
CoAlias acts as a link between your main no-code app and any extra domains you choose. It takes care of the behind-the-scenes work so that visitors only see the address you want them to see. If you need to offer more than one domain, CoAlias is a quick fix that keeps everything easy to manage.
