Learn how to use your own custom domains with Flipt Cloud
Custom domains are currently in beta. Contact us at support@flipt.io to get access.
Flipt Cloud allows you to use your own custom domains for evaluating feature flags against your Flipt Cloud instances. This means you can replace the default *.flipt.cloud
domain with your own domain (like features.acme.com
) when making API calls to Flipt.
This is useful if you want to use a domain (or subdomain) that you already own in order to provide a branded experience for your users.
Custom domains are only available on our Team plan and above and incur a small additional cost per month.
There are a couple of reasons why you might want to use a custom domain with Flipt Cloud.
By default when using Flipt Cloud, every environment gets its own subdomain at {your-environment}-{your-organization}.flipt.cloud
. When configuring our SDKs to evaluate feature flags, this is the domain that you’ll use.
For example, if you have an environment called dev
and an organization called acme
, the default domain for that environment will be dev-acme.flipt.cloud
.
Normally this is no big deal, but if you’re using Flipt Cloud to power a product that you’re selling to your customers, you may want to use your own domain to provide a branded experience. Particularly if you’re using Flipt Cloud to power a mobile or browser based product, it’s relatively easy for your users to inspect the network requests and see flipt.cloud
in the request.
By using your own domain, you can provide a more branded experience for your users, making the integration feel more seamless and professional.

You can use your own domain or subdomain:
Using custom domains can provide several security benefits:
Domain Allowlisting: Many organizations maintain strict allowlists of approved domains for outbound network requests. Using your own domain makes it easier to comply with these security policies without having to allowlist *.flipt.cloud
.
Network Isolation: Some organizations use internal DNS to route traffic through security appliances or VPNs. Custom domains allow you to configure your DNS to route Flipt traffic through your existing security infrastructure.
Data Privacy: Using your own domain helps mask the use of third-party services from end users, making it harder for potential attackers to identify which services your application depends on.
