Hosting Information

All websites created with Rollout come with included hosting on a global CDN (Content Delivery Network). This means:

• Your site is hosted across multiple edge locations worldwide
• Content is served from the location nearest to your visitors
• Fast load times with 99% uptime SLA
• Automatic HTTPS certificates for secure connections
• Unlimited bandwidth (within reasonable usage limits)

Custom Domain Setup

Eligibility

Custom domain connectivity is available on higher-tier plans. Entry-level plans can use Rollout subdomains (e.g., yoursite.rollout.site).

Connecting Your Domain

To connect your custom domain:

1. Purchase a domain from any domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
2. Go to your project settings in the Rollout dashboard
3. Select "Domain Settings"
4. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com)
5. Configure DNS records at your domain registrar:
   • Add an A record pointing to Rollout's servers
   • Detailed instructions will be provided in the domain setup screen

DNS Configuration

You'll need to add the following DNS records at your domain registrar:

1. A Record:
   • Host: @ or your subdomain
   • Value: [IP provided in Rollout's domain settings]
   • TTL: Auto or 3600
2. CNAME Record (if using a subdomain):
   • Host: www or your subdomain
   • Value: [CNAME value provided by Rollout]
   • TTL: Auto or 3600

Troubleshooting Domain Issues

If you're experiencing issues with your domain connection:

1. Check DNS propagation: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate
2. Verify DNS records: Ensure your A record and CNAME are correctly set up
3. Check for SSL errors: Make sure you've enabled HTTPS in your domain settings
4. Contact support: If issues persist, contact Rollout support with your domain details

SSL Certificates

Rollout automatically provisions and manages SSL certificates for all connected domains, ensuring your site is secure with HTTPS. This process is handled automatically when you connect your domain.

SSL Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing SSL certificate issues:

1. Verify domain ownership: Ensure your DNS records are correctly configured
2. Allow propagation time: SSL certificate provisioning can take up to 24 hours
3. Check for mixed content: If your site has both HTTP and HTTPS resources, fix these in your project
4. Contact support: For persistent SSL issues, reach out to Rollout support

Exporting Your Site (Advanced Plans)

If you prefer to host your site elsewhere, some plans allow you to export your site's code:

1. Go to your project dashboard
2. Click the "Download" or "Export" button
3. Save the exported files to your computer

The exported package contains:

• HTML files
• CSS files
• JavaScript files
• Any included assets (images, fonts, etc.)

Hosting Exported Sites Elsewhere

Your exported site can be hosted on:

• Traditional web hosts (cPanel, etc.)
• Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Static site hosts (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages)

Important Notes on Exporting:

• Some dynamic functionality may require additional setup when self-hosting
• Form processing will need to be handled by your hosting provider or a third-party service
• Custom integrations may need to be reconfigured for your new hosting environment
