Coalias is a service that allows users to easily add custom domains to their Bubble.io apps. It uses both server and client-side proxies to fetch the original content and serve it to the visitor. This allows Coalias to:

Some of the main benefits of using Coalias are the ability to add:
- Custom routes to your domain like when someone visits clientdomain.com it should load page /client

- Static file hosting to create an html page for your homepage or any other page
- Custom headers to allow things like creating apps for zoom
How do competitors of CoAlias work?
Another solution for adding custom domains to Bubble.io apps is to use an iframe to embed the original app. However, this has some downsides, including:
- Preventing cookies from working on iOS/Safari and soon on Chrome
- The URL not changing when a user navigates within the app
- Negative impact on SEO
- Requiring the enabling of iframes for the Bubble app
- Not being able to change the metadata for your domain or create custom routes
In conclusion, Coalias is a powerful solution for easily adding custom domains to Bubble.io apps. It has none of the downsides the competitors have. Its server and client-side proxies provide a seamless experience for users, and the additional features it offers make it a versatile choice for any Bubble.io app.
