Business Setup

WebApp Deployment

Deploy your WebApp to DashNex Cloud. This sets up your complete business infrastructure including database, storage, and edge computing.

Deployment Steps

When you first access your business account, you'll be guided through the deployment process:

  1. Accept Terms of Service

    Read and accept the DashNex Cloud Terms of Service. You must scroll through the entire document before the acceptance checkbox becomes enabled.

  2. Choose Your Subdomain

    Select a subdomain for your WebApp. This will be your app's address:

    https://your-subdomain.dashnexcloud.com

    Subdomain requirements:

    • 3 to 63 characters
    • Letters, numbers, and hyphens only
    • Cannot start or end with a hyphen
    • Must be available (checked in real-time)

    Important: Do not use trademarked names, brand names, or names that could infringe on intellectual property rights. Choose a subdomain that represents your own business.

  3. Deploy

    Click the deploy button to start the deployment process. This typically takes around 5 minutes.

What Gets Created

During deployment, DashNex automatically provisions your complete infrastructure:

  • Dedicated Database – Your own isolated database for all business data
  • Storage Bucket – File storage for media, documents, and uploads
  • Edge Compute – Your WebApp deployed globally on Cloudflare's edge network
  • SSL Certificate – Automatic HTTPS for your subdomain

During Deployment

You'll see a real-time progress bar showing the deployment status. Keep the page open – you'll be automatically redirected when deployment completes.

Don't close the page during deployment. The process typically takes about 5 minutes.

After Deployment

Once deployment completes, your WebApp is live and you can:

  • Access your WebApp at the subdomain you selected
  • Configure modules: install, uninstall, update
  • Set up a custom domain (Recommended)
  • Configure payment processing

Application Statuses

Your WebApp can have the following statuses:

StatusDescription
PendingCreated, awaiting deployment
DeployingDeployment in progress
ActiveRunning and accessible
StaleNeeds redeployment (modules changed)
FailedDeployment failed – retry or contact support

Redeployment

After making changes to modules (installing, updating, or removing), your app status becomes "Stale" and requires redeployment. Click the redeploy button in your dashboard to apply the changes.

Next Steps

After deployment, learn about Updates and Modules to configure your WebApp.
