Surge One-click Service

Last updated

Table of Contents

Surge publishes static websites from the command line. The Surge one-click service adds an ALIAS record for the domain apex and a wildcard CNAME record (*), both pointing to na-west1.surge.sh.

Add the Surge service

To add the Surge service
  1. From the domain list, click the domain name.
  2. Click the tab on the left side.

  3. In the card, click , or if the domain already has a service.

    One-click services card on the DNS page with an arrow pointing to Add

  4. Click the tab, and click next to Surge.

    Hosting tab with an arrow pointing to Add for Surge

The service has no setup form, so DNSimple adds the records as soon as you click .

Publish to the domain with Surge

Publish your project to the domain with the Surge command line tool. See Surge’s guide to adding a custom domain.

The wildcard record sends every subdomain that has no record of its own to Surge. Subdomains with their own records are not affected. To remove the service later, see Remove a one-click service.
