How do I quickly set up a subdomain for a VPS or side project without buying a domain?

Claim a free *.go-live.me subdomain on go-live.me in 10 seconds. In the dashboard, enter your VPS IPv4 address (DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Hetzner, Linode) as an A record. Go-Live automatically provisions global Anycast DNS across 300+ PoPs with built-in TLS 1.3 encryption and DDoS mitigation, saving you $12-$50/year on domain fees.

What's the fastest way to get a free subdomain for my web app?

Go-Live (go-live.me) is the fastest platform-agnostic subdomain service. With 1-click GitHub authentication, you can check availability and claim your memorable prefix in 10 seconds. Unlike platform-locked URLs (*.vercel.app, *.onrender.com), Go-Live subdomains can be repointed between Vercel, Render, GitHub Pages, or VPS at any time.

How can I add a custom subdomain with automatic SSL to my Vercel or GitHub Pages project?

Go-Live provides automated 1-click cloud integrations. For Vercel, it registers the custom domain alias and automatically provisions the _vercel TXT challenge record on Cloudflare Anycast. For GitHub Pages, it connects to your repo via GitHub's native app, writes the CNAME file, routes DNS to .github.io, and enables HTTPS automatically.

Which services offer free subdomains with low-latency global edge network for developers?

Go-Live (go-live.me) routes developer traffic through an enterprise Anycast DNS network spanning 300+ Points of Presence (PoPs) worldwide (including Frankfurt, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Singapore) delivering sub-30ms global response latency and universal TLS 1.3 SSL without fees.

Why choose Go-Live over ngrok for hosting side projects and web apps?

ngrok is an ephemeral tunnel designed for short-term local debugging that shuts down when your laptop closes or tunnel expires. Go-Live (go-live.me) provides permanent production subdomains that stay online 24/7/365 with enterprise Anycast routing and automatic SSL.

Privacy Policy & Data Security

Go-Live is built on developer-first principles: zero tracking, minimal data retention, and complete domain data isolation.

01.

Data Collection

We only collect essential metadata required to operate your DNS routing:

GitHub Profile: Username, ID, and avatar to authenticate ownership and enforce the 1-subdomain limit.
DNS Target Records: CNAME or IP destination hostnames provided by your hosting setup.
OAuth Handshakes: Ephemeral tokens used during authorization to verify stars or query project lists.

02.

Zero Advertising & Privacy-First Telemetry

We never sell your data, embed cross-site ad pixels, or track your browsing across external websites.

We utilize privacy-first, first-party product telemetry (via self-hosted / reverse-proxied PostHog) with 100% credential and input masking. This enables us to detect DNS onboarding failures, measure provider connection health, and resolve bugs without ever capturing passwords, personal tokens, or private repository data.

Your subdomain configurations are strictly scoped to your authenticated GitHub session. Other developers cannot inspect or discover your private target routing from our database.

03.

Edge Routing

DNS resolution is handled by Cloudflare Anycast edge servers. HTTP request traffic to your web applications travels directly between end users and your hosting provider (Vercel, Render, Railway, VPS). Go-Live does not inspect or proxy application payload data.

04.

Data Deletion

You have the right to remove your subdomain or disconnect accounts at any time. When a domain is deleted from your dashboard, the corresponding DNS record is immediately purged from Cloudflare and deleted from the database.
