+## Dedicated CDN Host
+
+The setup above caches on your primary domain and needs no extra configuration. If you instead serve assets and images from a separate CDN hostname (e.g. a CloudFront or Fastly distribution at `cdn.example.com` with your app as the origin), set the `CDN_HOST` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+CDN_HOST=cdn.example.com
+```
+
+Static asset URLs and image/attachment URLs (including those in API responses) will then use this host instead of [`RAILS_HOST`](environment_variables.md#urls-and-hosts). Host only, no protocol — URLs keep the scheme of your primary host.

+## URLs and Hosts
+
+`RAILS_HOST` is the canonical public host of your deployment. URLs Spree generates outside a request context use it — links in emails, webhook payloads, and image/attachment URLs in API responses (for the latter, `CDN_HOST` takes precedence when set).
+
+> **WARNING:** When neither `RAILS_HOST` nor `CDN_HOST` is configured, image and attachment URLs fall back to the store's URL setting, which is `localhost` on a fresh install — API responses will contain `https://localhost/...` URLs.
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `RAILS_HOST` | — | Public host, optionally with a port — e.g. `store.example.com` or `203.0.113.7:8080`. Host only, no protocol. On [Render](render.md), falls back to the platform-provided `RENDER_EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME`. |
+| `CDN_HOST` | — | Optional host for serving static assets and images, e.g. a CDN distribution in front of your app. Host only, no protocol. Falls back to `RAILS_HOST`. |
+
+Generated URLs use `https` unless both `RAILS_FORCE_SSL` and `RAILS_ASSUME_SSL` are set to `false` (see [SSL](#ssl)).
