title: Accessing Your Instance
category: usage
description: Learn how to access your PocketBase instances managed by
PocketHost using uniquely assigned UUIDs or your personalized subdomains.
Discover how these instances, crucial for running projects like web games, can
also be renamed for convenient accessibility. Future updates include
anticipated support for custom domains.

Your PocketBase instance managed by PocketHost is accessible in two ways:
1. `<uuid>.pockethost.io`
2. `<subdomain>.pockethost.io`
Every PocketHost instance is assigned a UUID that never changes, and a unique subdomain that you control and can change at any time.
> Example: I use PocketHost to run the backend for my web game named Harvest. I created a PocketHost instance and chose the name `harvest`. This is unique across all of PocketHost, and I can access my instance at `https://harvest.pockethost.io`. However, because instances can be [renamed](/docs/usage/rename-instance/), PocketHost also assigns a UUID that never changes. In this case, the UUID is `mfsicdp6ia1zpiu`. Thus, the instance permalink is `https://mfsicdp6ia1zpiu.pockethost.io`.
In the future, support for custom domains will be available. That is being tracked [here](https://github.com/benallfree/pockethost/issues/25).
