2019–2024

Vercel offers a Web UI for managing DNS records, simplifying custom domain configuration. This includes presets for common record types like MX records and support for wildcard domains. The platform also enables programmatic assignment of custom domains, subdomains, and SSL certificates to users via the Vercel Domains API, facilitating multi-tenant applications. This is integrated with Vercel Postgres for data storage and leverages the Edge Network for performance. Dub leveraged the Vercel Domains API to efficiently manage custom domains, enabling them to provision new domains on behalf of their users via API calls and cost-effectively provide SSL certificates, contributing to their growth to 3,000 active domains and 5 million redirects per month.

Default Production Domain

10/31/2019

Introduced automatic assignment of a `vercel.app` domain to new projects, simplifying the initial deployment and sharing process. This default domain can be edited or replaced with a custom domain. API endpoints for project creation and ensuring project existence were updated to support this feature.

Introducing Wildcard Domains

Introduced Wildcard Domains, allowing users to capture all subdomains on the fly and have a single deployment handle them. This enables the creation of customizable workspaces or profiles for each user. The feature is configured via the project's Domains tab and requires DNS nameserver configuration. A demo project 'static.fun' showcases this capability.
