How can I register a domain / hostname on IC?
Like oc.app just did for the open chat app. Looks like that domain is just rerouted to the canister id.
I would be happy to learn about how this is done.
Thanks for any help.
Hey there,
As you noticed, oc.app is actually using a regular .app TLD. You can register your TLD and set up forwarding rules to point to your canister.

I assume there is a plan for making this more native to the IC environment, but it’s far out still, is that correct? I’m working on a dapp using this forwarding-approach but if there is a solution in the works for the near-term might wait
As @kpeacock mentioned in a separate thread custom domains aren’t in a place we’re happy with yet. It makes sense to proceed with the forwarding-approach and stay tuned for any updates on the decentralized and open DNS front.
