Overview

A host is the address, port and SNI combination that goes into the links your subscribers receive. It is deliberately separate from the inbound’s real binding, so what a client is told to connect to can differ from where the listener actually sits, and that is how you point clients at a CDN, a second domain, or a different port than the one Xray binds. Host templates let you apply the same host configuration across many inbounds at once.

Before you start

  • You need inbounds configured first, because a host describes how clients reach one.
  • Changing a host changes every subscription link generated from it, so expect clients to need a subscription refresh.

Steps

  1. Open Server → Hosts from the sidebar. The header shows how many hosts are configured.
  2. Search or filter to find the hosts you want to work on.
  3. Select several hosts to act on them together, so you can add a tag to all of them at once, or Apply Template to push a saved host configuration across the selection.
  4. Open a host to edit its settings individually.
