Can I keep my domain registrar and just change DNS records?
Yes, that's exactly how it works. You don't need to transfer your domain registration. Just update the A record and TXT record at your current registrar to point to Lovable.
Can I move my domain from Shopify or Squarespace to Lovable?
Yes. Update your domain's DNS records to point to Lovable's servers using the A record and TXT record from your dashboard. You keep your domain registrar—only the DNS records change. Your old site will stop loading once DNS propagates.
Will moving my domain break my existing website?
Yes, changing DNS records will route traffic to your Lovable app instead of your old site. Make sure your Lovable app is fully built and tested before switching. During propagation (up to 48 hours), some visitors may still see the old site.
How do I use a CDN or reverse proxy with my custom domain?
You can place a CDN or reverse proxy in front of your Lovable domain if needed. Point your custom domain to the CDN, then configure the CDN to forward traffic to Lovable's IP. Ensure the Host header is preserved in the proxy. Contact [email protected] for specific CDN setup guidance.
