1. In [Zero Trust](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/), create an Access [self-hosted application](/cloudflare-one/applications/configure-apps/self-hosted-apps/). Access applications can only be configured for custom hostnames owned within the same account. Access applications cannot be configured in the SaaS provider's account at this time.

2. In the **Domain** field, enter the custom hostname (for example, `mycustomhostname.com`). The custom hostname will not appear in the dropdown and must be manually entered.

3. Follow the remaining self-hosted application creation steps to publish the application.

1. At your SaaS provider account, select [Zero Trust](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com).

2. Go to **Access** > **Applications**.

3. Select **Add an application** and, for type of application, select **Self-hosted**.
25+
4. Enter a name for your Access application and, in **Session Duration**, choose how often the user's [application token](/cloudflare-one/identity/authorization-cookie/application-token/) should expire.

5. In the **Domain** field, insert the custom hostname (for example, `mycustomhostname.com`) and press enter. The custom hostname will not appear in the dropdown and must be manually entered.
