Question
Can I redirect a domain towards another, both pointing towards the same App

Hello everyone,
I have a DO App and I currently use two sub-domains, let’s say beta.example.com and my.example.com, that point towards the APP with a CNAME record.
After using the beta subdomain for a while, I now want to make the my.example.com subdomain the default one. Can I redirect all beta.example.com requests to my.example.com using DO ? I already searched if that was a feature available at the DNS level of my domain provider but no luck.

Heya @support0ce4966f9e47942ec54621b,
You can partially do this with URL Redirects.
See: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/url-rewrites/#configure-a-redirect
The thing is, you need a route to be configured to a component (specifically for /docs and /api). App Platform doesn’t currently support domain only matching for components, so you’d either need to host those as separate apps with different domains OR redirect to beta.example.com and my.example.com (or similar).
The other way would be again using CNAMEs or using DigitalOcean Droplet to redirect the request from there.
