Domains & URLs

Default URLs

Every deployment gets a URL at:

https://<site-name>.web.app

These URLs are:

• Free — no charge for the subdomain
• SSL included — HTTPS by default
• CDN-backed — served from Firebase's global CDN
• Permanent — the URL stays as long as the deployment exists

Choosing a Good Site Name

Your site name is your brand on NetLaunch. Choose wisely:

# Good
netlaunch deploy -s acme-docs -f ./docs.zip
netlaunch deploy -s johns-portfolio -f ./site.zip
netlaunch deploy -s startup-landing -f ./build.zip

# Avoid
netlaunch deploy -s test123 -f ./site.zip    # not memorable
netlaunch deploy -s a -f ./site.zip           # too short (min 3)

Multiple Environments

Use naming conventions for staging and production:

# Production
netlaunch deploy -s my-app -f ./build.zip
# → https://my-app.web.app

# Staging
netlaunch deploy -s my-app-staging -f ./build.zip
# → https://my-app-staging.web.app

# Preview (per PR)
netlaunch deploy -s my-app-pr-42 -f ./build.zip
# → https://my-app-pr-42.web.app

Custom Domains

Custom domain support is coming soon. Currently all sites are served on .web.app subdomains.

SPA Routing

All deployments include automatic SPA rewrites:

• Any path that doesn't match a static file serves index.html
• Client-side routing (React Router, Vue Router, etc.) works automatically
• No configuration needed
