Custom tile domains
Your tiles, on your own domain.
Serve every tile, TileJSON and live update stream from a hostname like tiles.example.com. Add two DNS records, and MapSocket verifies them and gets the HTTPS certificate for you.
What you get
-
Two DNS records
A TXT record proves the hostname is yours and a CNAME sends traffic to MapSocket. The dashboard shows both and checks them for you.
-
Certificates on demand
The certificate is issued the first time the domain is used, and renewed automatically. Nothing to upload.
-
Same URLs, your host
The usual /t/… paths work on your domain, and TileJSON points at it, so maps never show a MapSocket hostname.
-
Only your project
A custom domain serves the project it belongs to and nothing else. Up to 5 domains per project.
-
Off when you say so
Remove a domain and it stops serving within 30 seconds.

Good to know
- The CNAME has to reach MapSocket directly. If you put a CDN in front, it must pass the hostname through unchanged.
