# Use custom domain

## 1. Add domain to the /etc/hosts file

In order for this config to work you need to add your host domain to the `/etc/hosts` file, for example:

```bash
# /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 scandipwa.local # some other domain
```

## 2. Setup CMA

Add to your `cma.js` file field `host` with your domain:

```javascript
module.export = {
    magento: { ... },
    host: 'scandipwa.local'
}
```

That is it! Just now we have setup a domain in our application!\
Now to apply changes we need to run the [start](https://docs.create-magento-app.com/v1/getting-started/available-commands/start) command **without** [**-s option**](https://docs.create-magento-app.com/v1/getting-started/available-commands/start#s-skip-setup).
