A little bit about custom domains

Here is a list of things to remember:

  1. Edgeapp URLS do not preview your project in the browser, but instead only work when sent additional info (your domain) which Glitch/Fly.io have in their systems as being tied to the project you added that domain too and therefore displaying that project on that domain. The reason going directly to an edgeapp URL won’t work is because that isn’t tied to a project. (Thanks @EddiesTech)

  2. Don’t spam the forum- I understand some of you don’t know this yet but you must email support@glitch.com for removals. Just send them your project name and the domain and you should get a reply in about 24-48 hours

  3. You should try to use cloudflare on domains as you get statistics and DDoS protection. However this is your decision.

When you say this, really you mean that the Edgeapp URLS do not preview your project in the browser, but instead only work when sent additional info (your domain) which Glitch/Fly.io have in their systems as being tied to the project you added that domain too and therefore displaying that project on that domain. The reason going directly to an edgeapp URL won’t work is because that isn’t tied to a project. Maybe they could add it as a site with that domain to explain this to people

@EddiesTech I have just edited that part with your explanation. Thanks for that

Changed the title to be a tiny bit more fitting. But good post, you make some very good points.
