Hi @lukkyz,

In a way, yes. As Heroku at this time, you can’t disable the default domain name in your app however you can create a rule to redirect all requests to a domain specified by you. By default, your app will be given a sub-domain on ondigitalocean.app. You can also register a custom domain.

More about that here:

Hi @Lukkyz,

You can add a custom domain to an app, see: How to Manage Domains in App Platform.

It is currently not possible to disable the default assigned hostname however you can add a check in your app code to redirect requests to your custom domain.
