Routes

Flexible Routing for Your Web Applications

With the routing layer in the LAY7 cloud, you precisely manage how requests are distributed to your web applications – without complex configurations.

Through the intuitive user interface, you define which domain, subdomain, or path points to which target. This allows you to easily and clearly represent even complex setups.

Whether multisite structures, APIs on separate subdomains, or targeted redirects to external services – with Routes, you determine exactly where each request is directed.

Routes give you the freedom to organize your web applications clearly, flexibly, and efficiently – without technical overhead.

Versatile Use Cases

With the flexible routing of the LAY7 cloud, you consolidate various systems, applications, and content under a clearly structured domain logic. Direct any number of domains to a central WordPress Multisite, combine static pages, container-based APIs, and external landing pages in a hybrid setup, or structure your infrastructure with versioned routes, e.g., for different API versions.

White-label scenarios can also be easily represented: Use subdomains for tenants or customer portals and route them specifically to separate deployments. The routing is done dynamically, reliably, and centrally via the platform – without adjustments to individual services.

Whether agency, platform provider, or enterprise team: The LAY7 cloud provides you with the necessary flexibility to design complex projects clearly, scalably, and future-proof.

WordPress Multisite

Route any number of domains to a central WordPress Multisite – ideal for agencies, franchises, or portals with multiple brand appearances.

Hybrid Projects

Seamlessly integrate static pages from one space, REST APIs from containers, and external landing pages via redirects under a unified domain structure.

Versioned Deployments

Route e.g., /v1 to an old release and /v2 to an updated backend – perfect for API infrastructures with multiple versions.

White-Label Solutions

Use subdomains for different customer dashboards or tenants and route them specifically to individual container deployments.

Clear and Simple Configuration

Setting up a route is incredibly simple. You select a domain and optionally a path or subdomain. Then you specify where this route should lead: to one of your spaces, a container deployment, or an external URL.

The actual complexity of routing remains fully in the background – you only focus on assigning the routes. Your changes take effect immediately, without manual adjustments or waiting times.

This way, you maintain full control over your setup – without having to deal with the details of the technical infrastructure.

Scalable and Suitable for Any Setup

Whether you operate a small company website with just one domain or a large portal with dozens of domains and subdomains, the routes of the LAY7 cloud easily grow with your setup.

Even with growing demands, your routes remain clear and easy to maintain. You can add new routes at any time or adjust existing ones with just a few clicks – all changes take effect immediately.

Thanks to this flexibility, the LAY7 cloud is also ideally suited as a hosting platform for agencies, SaaS providers, or larger content management systems, where customized domain routing is part of the daily tasks.

WordPress Multisite with Multiple Domains

Do you run a WordPress Multisite installation and want to route multiple domains or subdomains specifically to different subsites? With Routes, each domain can point individually to the shared web space – the distinction is made within WordPress.

Separation of API and Website

Is your website under example.com, and do you want your API to be accessible at api.example.com? No problem. Route api.example.com to a container deployment and serve cleanly separated applications across different subdomains.

Redirecting Campaign Domains

Do you have special domains for actions or marketing campaigns? With Routes, you simply redirect these to the appropriate landing page, regardless of whether it is located in a space, delivered through a container, or if it is an external page.

Targeted Redirects for Legacy URLs

Have you restructured parts of your project? Easily redirect individual paths of old URLs via a redirect route to the new targets – all without additional effort in your application.

Multilingual Page Structure

Do you run your website in multiple languages and want each language to be accessible via its own domain? With Routes, you connect each language domain specifically with the respective part of your application.
