Accessing Your Instance usage 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, 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.
