Heroku: Proper way to assign a domain in your app - heroku

Is there any Nameserver( dns addresses) i can give to my domain and get assigner or its only works with domain mapping? thank you.

transfer domain on bluehost to point to heroku app

I have a domain registered on bluehost and Im trying to point the DNS to my heroku app. I have changed the www entry to the provided target. I also added the domain in heroku (once with the www and once without). The domain name is still responded to with the bluehost hosted app and not redirecting to the heroku instance. Please advise?
Please check if there is any A record.

How to customize the domain name of godaddy in heroku app

I have successfully added my domain name of go daddy into my Heroku app .. but DNS target is getting something else . I have changed target in go daddy but still It is not showing the correct one . please help me out
Please read the Heroku doc on custom domain names.
Make sure you've done all of the steps below, and remember there can be a delay before DNS changes are noticeable.
Confirm that you own the custom domain name.
You can buy a custom domain name with a domain registration service.
Add the custom domain to your app with the heroku domains:add
command.
Look up the Heroku-supplied DNS target for the custom domain using
the heroku domains command.
Configure your app’s DNS provider to point to the Heroku-supplied
DNS target.
Confirm that your app is accessible via the custom domain.
There might be a delay while DNS changes propagate.

Not able to redirect domain in Heroku (DNS)

I'm having hard times trying to redirect a custom domain on Heroku, have you guys had the same problem?
Configured custom domain on Heroku (already tried different variation):
The server asks for Server Name, so I add the only thing Heroku returns as the DNS:
Below there are two domains, the first says "servfail" (the current app domain), the second "nxdomain", which I've just bought it's fine.
Any advices? Should I deploy on another server? Thanks for the help!
You need to update the DNS servers of your domain fariba.cl to fariba.cl.herokudns.com at the domain registrar's end (from where you purchased the domain)
After that it will work fine.
For those facing DNS redirecting problems in Heroku, I suggest this Add-on that you can add to your app in Heroku (for free): PointDNS
With it you can get many types of adresses, including IP and/or n1.server n2.server and so on, in which you can add the address to your domain settings.

Configure CNAME for a heroku app with subdomains

Currently i have an app on Heroku with a wildcard subdomain working like this:
client1.myapp.com, client2.myapp.com, ...
This is working fine.
Then, i'd like that each client can access this apps using their own personal domains. So, testing this on my personal domain, i would like to configure test.mydomain.com like this:
CNAME test --- client1.myapp.com
But, this is not working yet. I keep getting the heroku error 'No such app, There's nothing here, yet.'.
Not sure what i am missing. Is it a problem related to my actual Laravel app? Heroku config? DNS?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Assuming your application will provide an hostname for each client (actually, it would probably be preferable to have a single hostname as in any case it looks like they will all point to the same Heroku app), then you have to complete all these tasks in order to make it work:
Add the subdomain client1.myapp.com as domain attached to the Heroku app
Configure the DNS record for client1.myapp.com
Ensure client1.myapp.com resolves (dig client1.myapp.com)
Add the customer subdomain/domain to your Heroku app, otherwise Heroku will reject routing the requests for that domain
Configure the DNS record for the customer subdomain/domain to CNAME client1.myapp.com
Ensure the customer subdomain/domain resolves
According to your issue description, I assume you probably did not configure the customer subdomain/domain as domain to your Heroku app.

Heroku custom domain

Would like to learn how website works.
Purchased a domain name from bigrock domain registrar.
Am used to deploy applications to Heroku for my official websites.
But this is my personal site deployed to Heroku.
But how to connect my domain name to heroku ?
Heroku documentation is not clear to me.
I tried domain forwarding after playing with google search, but my site http://www.prithvibhargav.com/ is still giving me blank page.
Where as the heroku default website address still works
http://afternoon-cove-8287.herokuapp.com/
How to make my domain name to connect to heroku and work ?
There are so many terminoliges people use which is confusing
CName , A address, 301 redirect, domain forwarding
Which one to choose ?
You need to set your DNS to point to your heroku address. You should be able to go into the DNS settings in bigrock (where you registered the domain) and create CName record that will forward from your domain (http://www.prithvibhargav.com) to the heroku address (http://afternoon-cove-8287.herokuapp.com/)
