Lovable adds custom nameserver support for purchased domains
TL;DR
Lovable now supports custom nameservers for purchased domains, enabling external DNS management through services like Cloudflare while retaining registration.
What changed
Vibe Builders and Developers can now set custom nameservers on domains purchased inside Lovable. Basic Users keep domain registration in the workspace while pointing DNS to services such as Cloudflare. Workspace admins complete the change from the domain settings panel.
Why it matters
This option gives Developers direct control over DNS records without moving registration away from Lovable. Vibe Builders who already run production traffic through Cloudflare can keep the same configuration for domains bought here. Basic Users avoid the step of transferring the domain to another registrar.
What to watch for
Compare the setup against keeping nameservers at Lovable defaults to measure resolution speed. Verify the change by running a dig query on the domain after the nameserver update completes.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Connect your Lovable domains to Cloudflare to manage production traffic and security settings.
- Basic Users: Point your domain to external DNS services without the hassle of transferring your registration.
Harsh’s take
Keeping domain registration and DNS management separate is a standard requirement for production apps. Lovable allowing custom nameservers means builders can finally use advanced edge caching and WAF rules from providers like Cloudflare while keeping their billing centralized. This removes a major friction point for teams that want to scale beyond simple prototyping.
Operators should move their DNS management to a dedicated provider immediately. Relying on a platform's default DNS often limits your ability to handle complex routing or subdomains. This update signals that Lovable is moving from a sandbox tool to a serious deployment platform for professional web applications.
