![Introducing t3.tigrisfiles.io for Tigris public content](/blog/assets/images/hero-image-1b956efca1cc55ac7113ee66ec1f7a09.webp)

New Tigris accounts now serve public content from a dedicated domain: `t3.tigrisfiles.io`. This separates public content delivery from API infrastructure.

<!-- -->

## What's changing?[​](#whats-changing "Direct link to What's changing?")

New Tigris accounts serve public content — both [public buckets](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/public-bucket/) and [public objects in private buckets](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/objects/public-objects/) — from `t3.tigrisfiles.io` instead of `t3.storage.dev`.

Public content URLs use the bucket name as a subdomain:

```
https://my-assets.t3.tigrisfiles.io/logo.png
```

No additional configuration required.

This change only affects how public content is served to anonymous visitors. All authenticated operations — uploading, listing, deleting, and managing objects through the CLI, SDKs, or S3 API — continue to use `t3.storage.dev`. When you use an SDK, every request is authenticated, whether the bucket is public or private. The only thing that changes is the URL you hand out for public access.

Presigned URLs generated through the Tigris Console now use `t3.tigrisfiles.io` automatically. Presigned URLs you generate in your own code continue to work on whichever endpoint you already use.

## What about existing accounts?[​](#what-about-existing-accounts "Direct link to What about existing accounts?")

Nothing changes. If you already serve public content from `*.t3.storage.dev`, your URLs continue to work. This change applies only to new accounts.

Organizations, namespaces, and buckets belonging to known partners are also excluded regardless of account age.

`fly.storage.tigris.dev`, used by many Fly.io users, follows the same rules. New accounts should use `t3.tigrisfiles.io` for public content instead.

To switch existing content to the new domain, swap the hostname:

```
- https://my-bucket.t3.storage.dev/images/photo.jpg
+ https://my-bucket.t3.tigrisfiles.io/images/photo.jpg
```

## Custom domains[​](#custom-domains "Direct link to Custom domains")

If you use a [custom domain](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/custom-domain/) for your public bucket, it continues to work as before. New custom domain CNAME records should point to `BUCKET.t3.tigrisbucket.io` as described in the [custom domain docs](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/custom-domain/).

For production public content, we recommend a custom domain. It keeps your URLs stable regardless of platform domain changes.

## Alternate domains[​](#alternate-domains "Direct link to Alternate domains")

Two additional domains serve the same public content as `t3.tigrisfiles.io`:

| Domain                      | Example URL                                     |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `BUCKET.t3.tigrisbucket.io` | `https://my-assets.t3.tigrisbucket.io/logo.png` |
| `BUCKET.t3.tigrisblob.io`   | `https://my-assets.t3.tigrisblob.io/logo.png`   |

If `t3.tigrisfiles.io` has issues, you can switch to either of these immediately.

## Getting started[​](#getting-started "Direct link to Getting started")

Create a public bucket with a single command:

```
aws s3api create-bucket \
  --endpoint-url https://t3.storage.dev \
  --bucket my-public-site \
  --acl public-read
```

Your content is available immediately at `https://my-public-site.t3.tigrisfiles.io/`.

See the [public bucket docs](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/public-bucket/) for the full setup guide, and the [custom domain docs](https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/custom-domain/) to set up your own domain.
