3. Add Firebase Anycast IP records in Devs.Surf DNS:

For custom servers (Ubuntu, Debian, Docker, Node.js, Python, Go):

1. In Devs.Surf DNS, create an A Record pointing to your server's public IP:

2. Minimal Nginx reverse-proxy configuration (/etc/nginx/sites-available/yourapp.conf):

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name myproject.devs.surf;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000; # Change to your application port
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

3. Issue free SSL with Certbot:

sudo certbot --nginx -d myproject.devs.surf

1. In Render or Railway, open your service settings → Custom Domains.

2. Add myproject.devs.surf.

3. Point a CNAME record in Devs.Surf DNS to your service's generated hostname (e.g. myproject.onrender.com or myproject.up.railway.app).

1. Locate your Shared IP Address on the right-hand panel of your cPanel dashboard.

2. In Devs.Surf DNS Manager, add an A record pointing to your cPanel IP:

3. In cPanel, navigate to Domains → Create A New Domain.

4. Enter myproject.devs.surf. Uncheck "Share document root" and assign a dedicated folder (e.g. public_html/myproject).

5. Open SSL/TLS Status in cPanel and click Run AutoSSL to automatically issue a free Let's Encrypt / Sectigo certificate.

define('WP_HOME', 'https://myproject.devs.surf');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://myproject.devs.surf');

For Nginx or VPS servers, pass incoming requests to PHP-FPM with try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; in your server block.
