DNS Setup/Configuration

Can I use a subdomain like app.mysite.com?
Yes, you can connect a subdomain by adding DNS records for that subdomain specifically. The process is the same—just apply the A record and TXT record to the subdomain rather than the root domain.
How do I set up DNS to connect my domain to Lovable?
You have two options: automatic setup (Lovable walks you through it via Entri) or manual setup (add an A record and TXT record to your registrar's DNS settings using the values shown in your Lovable dashboard). Automatic setup is recommended for ease.
How long does DNS propagation take?
DNS changes typically propagate within a few hours, but can take up to 48 hours. You can check the status using whatsmydns.net. Your app continues working on your Lovable preview URL in the meantime.
What DNS records do I need to add?
You need an A record pointing to Lovable's IP address, and a TXT record for domain verification. Both values are shown in your Lovable dashboard when you add a custom domain. Copy them exactly as displayed.
Where do I add DNS records?
Log into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, etc.) and find the DNS management section. Add the A record and TXT record values from your Lovable dashboard there.
