Can I use a .com.au domain with Lovable?
Last checked 31 Aug 2026
Short answer
Yes — Lovable's custom domain feature works with any domain you own, including .com.au, as long as you can add DNS records at wherever the domain's nameservers point.
Short answer
Custom domain connection in Lovable isn't restricted by top-level domain (TLD). A .com.au, .co.uk, .io or any other domain works the same way: you add the DNS records Lovable gives you, and it verifies and connects.
What's different about .com.au specifically
.com.au domains are managed under Australian domain rules (via auDA-accredited registrars) and usually require an Australian presence (ABN or similar) to register — but that's a registration requirement, not a Lovable one. Once you own the domain and can edit its DNS, connecting it to Lovable works exactly like any other domain.
Steps
- Confirm you can access DNS management for the domain — either at your Australian registrar directly, or wherever you've pointed the nameservers (e.g. Cloudflare).
- Follow the same steps as any custom domain: Project settings → Domains → Add domain, then add the A/CNAME records shown.
- Verify and wait for DNS propagation.
Connect my .com.au domain to this project — show me the DNS records to add.
What usually goes wrong
- .com.au registrars sometimes lock DNS editing behind extra verification steps or a separate DNS panel from the registration panel — make sure you're editing the right one.
- Some Australian registrars default to their own nameservers with limited record types; if you can't add the exact record type Lovable needs, consider moving DNS management to a provider like Cloudflare.
