Assistance setting up SSL for branch deploy

[Tombre]

Hey Team!

I need some help setting up a branch deploy subdomain to be included in the SSL certificate.

• Netlify site name: staxvolumes.netlify.app
• The subdomain is: staging.staxvolumes.com.au
• The branch is “staging”
• DNS is setup to point to 6000493b907c650008c68f97–staxvolumes.netlify.app.

nslookup results

Server: 192.168.20.1
Address: 192.168.20.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
staging.staxvolumes.com.au canonical name = 6000493b907c650008c68f97--staxvolumes.netlify.app.
Name: 6000493b907c650008c68f97--staxvolumes.netlify.app
Address: 52.63.66.63
Name: 6000493b907c650008c68f97--staxvolumes.netlify.app
Address: 54.206.19.82

Thanks!

Hi, @Tombre. The instructions can be found here:

[Support Guide] How to use Netlify’s branch deploy feature without Netlify DNS

So - you’ve discovered the concept of branch subdomains and want to use them! But you can’t use Netlify’s DNS Hosting? Never fear, there is a way to do this and this post will explain how in detail! Please note, however, that going this route means missing out on single click setup and all the goodness it includes - for example, getting an SSL certificate configured automatically. If you are okay with this downside, or simply cannot use Nelify DNS for some reason, here’s how to do it! 1. Succ…

I wanted to point out that the branch subdomain domain name at Netlify will showthe most recent deploy of that branch and a specific deploy id. (The DNS record doesn’t control what deploy is shown.)

The SSL certificate has been extended to include that domain.

If there are other questions or concerns, please let us know.
