Names and regions

Names

• Free Tier: a random name such as brave-otter-7k2p, kept while the tunnel runs (and for a couple of minutes after a disconnect, so reconnects keep it).
• Paid plans: --name my-app reserves my-app.dockhive.live for you, in every region, until you release it. While the tunnel is stopped, visitors see a “this tunnel is offline” page.

dockhive expose 3000 --name my-app
dockhive names                     # list your reserved names
dockhive names release my-app      # give one up

Names are 3 to 40 characters of lowercase letters, digits and -. Names that imitate DockHive, other brands, or sign-in and payment pages are not allowed.

Regions

The DockHive edge runs in five regions:

Region	Location
us	United States
eu	Europe (London)
de	Germany (Frankfurt)
asia	Asia (Singapore)
africa	Africa (Johannesburg)

With --region auto (the default) the CLI connects to the fastest one from where you are. See them with their latency and status:

dockhive regions

The list comes from DockHive, so new regions appear without updating the CLI.
