Vhost editor

Advanced users can edit the site’s Nginx virtual host directly for custom rewrites, headers, and redirects.

Who can use this page? Site manage — Site Actions → Edit Vhost.

When to use it

Prefer panel features when they fit:

Need	Use instead
Apex ↔ www	Edit site / routing
Cross-domain redirect	Domain redirects
Extra proxy headers	Often default config is enough
Custom location blocks	Vhost editor

Use the editor for:

• Custom location rules
• Extra proxy_set_header lines
• Rate limits or IP allowlists at the server block level
• One-off rewrite rules

Edit safely

1. Site Actions → Edit Vhost
2. Copy the existing config as a backup
3. Make a small change
4. Save — Nginx validates and reloads
5. Verify the site in a private window

If validation or reload fails, restore your saved configuration or contact NitHost support with the exact error.

Changes to routing can interrupt the site. Keep a copy of the working configuration before editing.
