Flexibly Connect Spaces via Routes
Spaces are made accessible through so-called routes. This allows you to even represent complex routing scenarios where multiple paths, domains, or subdomains point to the same or different Spaces.
Determine under which domain or subdomain your Space should be accessible. The SSL encryption via Let's Encrypt is automatically handled by the LAY7 Cloud for you.
Through this flexible routing layer, you can also easily implement WordPress multisite installations or web applications with white labeling. All of this is managed through a simple, intuitive interface.
Quickly Connect Domains
Register or connect your domains directly in the LAY7 Cloud – including DNS zone and SSL certificate.
Secure HTTPS Connections
Automated Let's Encrypt certificates provide encrypted connections without additional effort.
Flexible Path Control
With various rules, you can route multiple paths to different Spaces or services.
Subdomains and Aliases
Manage subdomains and alias domains for your Spaces – all through a central interface.
