Addresses

How the addresses your projects and services answer on are built. Every hostname sits under this suffix, which is what lets one certificate cover them all.

Controls

Control What it does
Namespace Gathers every address under one parent name. Optional; leave it empty to use the extension alone.
Extension The addresses' extension: .loc, .test and so on.

The card previews what your addresses will look like.

Choosing an extension

Extension Status
.test, .localhost Reserved for local use. Safe.
.loc Not a registered TLD, and widely used for this.
.dev A real TLD, and on browsers' HSTS preload list. Nothing under it opens over plain HTTP and the warning cannot be clicked through. Turn HTTPS on first.

Worth knowing

  • Changing the suffix needs a new certificate. Look at the Certificates card after saving.
  • Existing projects keep the domain in their own stackvo.json. A new suffix only affects projects created afterwards.
  • Saving is not enough: regenerate so the routing labels pick the suffix up. Until then the stack answers with the old ones.
