Domains & DNS

Overview

• vercel domains — manage domain ownership and project assignment
• vercel dns — manage DNS records (when using Vercel nameservers)
• vercel alias — map deployment URLs to custom domains
• vercel certs — manage SSL certificates (usually auto-managed)

Most users only need vercel alias — domains and DNS are auto-configured when using Vercel nameservers.

Typical Flow

1. Add domain to project: vercel domains add example.com my-project
2. Configure nameservers at registrar to point to Vercel
3. Deploy: vercel --prod (domain is auto-assigned)

Or manually alias: vercel alias set <deployment-url> example.com

DNS Records

vercel dns ls example.com
vercel dns add example.com @ A 1.2.3.4
vercel dns add example.com sub CNAME target.example.com
vercel dns rm rec_abc123

Use vercel <command> -h for full flag details.
