# App Builder: Domains

Understanding how to configure subdomains and manage custom subdomains is key to making your apps accessible to the world.

### Default subdomain structure

By default, all apps hosted on Rewst are assigned a subdomain under `*.rew.st`. This means your app's URL will be in the format `your-app-name.rew.st`. Rewst takes care of the underlying infrastructure, allowing you to focus on building and deploying your apps.

### Custom subdomains

#### Initial setup

When you first create your app, Rewst provides an option for a custom subdomain. This custom subdomain follows the pattern `<org-slug>-<custom-subdomain>.rew.st`.

* `<org-slug>`: This is your organization's unique identifier. You can update it in the Rewst Settings page for your organizations.
* `<custom-subdomain>`: You can choose a custom subdomain for your app during the creation process.

#### Update the organization slug

URLs on your App Builder pages are generated based on your organization slug within Rewst. If you wish to update your organization's slug:

1. Navigate to **Settings > Organization** in the left side menu of your Rewst platform. Do this for the organization you're using for your app.
2. Click ![](/files/q3RGXsTEClyUnhc5SXEd) to open the display options list.
3. Check the **Org Slug** column.\
   ![](/files/6UjLoGprd9QdIMvkXex3)
4. Locate the organization slug field for your organization.
5. Click ![](/files/7SVAsZSWbqA821PvMvIZ) to the far right of your organization to enable editing.
6. Update the org slug as needed.
7. Click ![](/files/9lysJXXomSf5e08NaGlr) to save.
8. Changes will take effect immediately.

#### Update the custom subdomain

To modify the custom subdomain of your app:

1. Open your app in App Builder.
2. Look for the option to update the subdomain.
3. Enter your desired custom subdomain.
4. Confirm the changes.

#### Example:

Let's say your organization slug is `myorg` and your custom subdomain is `app1`. Your app's URL would be `myorg-app1.rew.st`.

### Why customize subdomains?

Custom subdomains provide a branded and personalized touch to your apps. It makes them easily identifiable and memorable for your users. Whether you're representing a business, project, or personal endeavor, a custom subdomain adds a professional touch to your online presence.

### Custom domain support and creation guidelines

Rewst offers custom domain support, allowing you to use your own domain name for your Rewst-hosted apps. Ensure that your custom subdomains comply with Rewst's guidelines and any applicable legal or branding standards. Abusive or inappropriate subdomains may be subject to action by Rewst.
