By Shaheer Malik · Source: Framer Help: How to self host using a reverse proxy, read on 29 October 2026
Quick answer: A Framer marketing site and an app on Vercel can share a brand three ways: a subdomain for each, Framer's Multi Site rewrites serving the app at a path, or a reverse proxy on Vercel with Framer as the origin. The single-domain options need Framer Pro with Advanced Hosting, or Enterprise.
How to connect Vercel to Framer
- Simplest: put the app on app.example.com and the Framer site on the main domain
- One domain, Framer in front: add a Multi Site rewrite in Framer that serves the Vercel app at a path such as /app
- One domain, Vercel in front: add rewrites on Vercel that proxy marketing paths to the Framer site
- Test every path and set the canonical URL
Good to know
- Framer's Multi Site rewrites keep the visitor's URL unchanged
- Framer's reverse proxy guide names Vercel, Netlify, NGINX, Cloudflare and AWS
Three ways to share a domain with Framer
| Setup | How it works | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Subdomains | The Framer site on example.com, the app on app.example.com | DNS records only |
| Framer Multi Site | Framer serves another project or an external HTTPS site at a path, keeping the visitor's URL | Rules in Site Settings, Hosting; a target Framer project needs a paid plan |
| Reverse proxy | Your host, such as Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare, sits in front with Framer as the origin | Framer Pro with the Advanced Hosting add-on, or Enterprise |
Rewrite rules support wildcards, named parameters and capture groups, and run in the order listed, so put specific paths before broad ones.
