Preview hosting vs. your production domain
DriftLess preview URLs are for review; your custom domain runs from the host you choose.
Two layers are easy to conflate: (1) a DriftLess-managed preview you can inspect, and (2) a live site you operate for real users.
Previews exist so you can open a browser, run checks, and share progress. They are not a replacement for production operations: SSL on your apex domain, observability, backups, and secret rotation still happen where you deploy.
What you do after handoff
Connect your Git repository to your hosting provider, configure the needed commands, add environment variables in that provider’s dashboard, and attach DNS there. DriftLess does not need to stay in that path.
