Custom Domains

Less also allows you to configure your DNS settings in order to use a custom domain with your static websites. Use the following command to get new NS records for your custom domain:

npx @chuva.io/less-cli domains --project-name PROJECT_NAME --static-name STATIC_NAME --custom-domain CUSTOM_DOMAIN

For example, if we want to use a custom domain demo-website.com for the demo-website website in our my-less-project application, we can use the following command:

npx @chuva.io/less-cli domains --project-name my-less-project --static-name demo-website --custom-domain demo-website.com

Resulting in the following example output:

[less-cli] Connecting to the Less Server...

│    3    │ 'NS' │ 'demo-website.com'                 │ 'ns-000.exampledns.com'   │
└─────────┴──────┴────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────┘

Add the NS records to your DNS provider and wait for the DNS to propagate.
