Domain management in SeaText is under Settings > Domains in the dashboard. That is where you will see the primary URL linked to your account. If you came looking for a registrar-style panel with DNS records, you are in the wrong place: this setting is about which website address SeaText associates with your account.
SeaText keeps this setting deliberately small. The source documentation says each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. That one rule drives most of the decisions below.
What the domain settings control
The domain setting has one main job. It identifies the website that the account will work on. You use it to confirm the primary URL before you copy the JavaScript code and add it to your site.
For a single website, the workflow is short. Check the primary URL, install the code on that domain, then activate the script. The docs note that the installation process is secure and the AI remains inert until activated.
For multiple websites, the workflow changes. You do not add another domain to the same settings page. You create a separate account for each website.
Why one account is tied to one primary URL
SeaText runs from a JavaScript snippet placed on your site. That snippet needs to send data back to the correct account. The platform links traffic to a primary URL so it knows which website the data belongs to.
Because each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL, the primary URL acts like the identity of the account. It is not a preference you can flip later to cover a second site.
What changes if you ignore this? Traffic on an unlinked domain may not be associated with your account. The documentation warns that dynamic development domains may not function properly, because SeaText may be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account. That is the same logic you should apply to any domain that does not match the primary URL.
When you need a separate account
Create one SeaText account for each domain you want to use. This is the rule from the source pack: if you need to use SEATEXT AI on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts for each domain.
- Multiple websites: each website gets its own account.
- Development and production: a development domain and a production domain are two separate accounts.
- Client sites or separate brands: each client domain gets its own account.
Example: you operate shop.example.com and shop.example.org. Those are two domains, so you need two accounts. Example: you test on dev.example.com and launch on www.example.com. Those are also two accounts if both domains are used.
What the restrictions mean in practice
SeaText restricts development URLs such as localhost for security reasons. That is not a temporary bug; it is a boundary.
If you plan to test before launch, use a valid, real domain. Dynamic development domains may not work reliably because SeaText may not be able to associate traffic with your account. Stable, real domains are the safer choice.
How to check the domain setting before installation
- Sign in to your SeaText account.
- Open Settings, then open Domains.
- Confirm the primary URL matches the website where you will paste the JavaScript code.
- If the domain shown is not the site you are about to install on, set up a separate account for the correct domain instead of reusing this one.
- Copy the JavaScript code from SeaText, paste it into your site, and save the changes.
- Preview your site and inspect the page source to confirm the code is present.
Step 4 is the one people skip. Reusing one account across several domains may create the wrong association. The source pack says separate accounts for separate domains.
Key facts at a glance
| Area | What the SeaText documentation says |
|---|---|
| Primary URL | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| Multiple domains | If you need to use SEATEXT AI on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts for each domain. |
| Development URLs | Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. |
| Dynamic development domains | Dynamic development domains may not function properly because SEATEXT AI may be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account. |
| Security | The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. |
SeaText domain settings vs registrar domain management
When people search for domain management, they often expect DNS records, nameservers, renewals, and transfers. Those controls belong to the registrar or hosting provider, not to SeaText.
SeaText's Settings > Domains answers a different question: which website is this account attached to? Keep the two tools separate. Use the registrar for DNS. Use SeaText's domain setting to confirm the primary URL.
Practical scenarios for choosing a domain
- Scenario A: one production website. Confirm the primary URL, install the snippet, and activate the agents you need. Small setup, one account.
- Scenario B: staging plus production. Use a real staging domain and a real production domain. Create one account for each. Check that the staging domain is stable before you rely on it.
- Scenario C: multiple client websites. Create one account for each client domain. That keeps traffic, settings, and reports separate.
Limitations and boundary cases
- One account is tied to one primary URL. That is the central limit.
- localhost is restricted. Do not use it as the domain for a live account.
- Dynamic development domains may not work reliably.
- Adding another website means creating another account, not adding a second domain to an existing one.
- DNS and nameserver settings are not part of this page. Handle those at the registrar.
Terms you may see
Primary URL
The single domain linked to a SeaText account. It is the website address the account is expected to work on.
Account
The login and installation identity for one website. One account, one primary URL.
Code snippet
The JavaScript code you copy from SeaText and place on your site before activation.
Activation
The point when the AI script starts working. The script remains inert until activated.
Development domain
A testing address. Localhost and dynamic development domains have restrictions or may not work reliably.
Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is Settings > Domains in SeaText?
Sign in, open Settings, then open Domains. That is the account-level location for the primary URL.
Can one SeaText account manage two domains?
No. Each account is linked to a single primary URL, and using multiple domains requires separate accounts.
Can I use localhost for testing?
No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain instead.
Why might a dynamic development domain fail?
SeaText may be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account. If traffic is not associated, the script may not behave as expected.
Do I need a separate account for each website?
Yes. The source pack says to use SEATEXT AI on several websites, create one account for each website.
What if the domain in Settings doesn't match my site?
Do not install the code on a mismatched domain. Use an account whose primary URL matches the site, or create a new account for that domain.
