# Examples

In all the examples below, `$SERVICE` represents the name of a [Service](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/apps/deploying-apps/services.md) for the Spp you are adding an Endpoint to.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If your app is using an [Implicit Service](https://www.aptible.com/docs/how-to-guides/app-guides/define-services.md#implicit-service-cmd), the service name is always `cmd`.

#### Create a new Endpoint

```shell theme={null}
aptible endpoints:tcp:create \
        --app "$APP_HANDLE" \
        "$SERVICE"
```

#### Create a new Endpoint using a [Default Domain](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/apps/connecting-to-apps/app-endpoints/default-domain.md)

```shell theme={null}
aptible endpoints:tcp:create \
        --app "$APP_HANDLE" \
        --default-domain \
        "$SERVICE"
```

#### Create a new Endpoint using a custom set of Container Ports

> [!WARNING]
>
> The `--ports` argument accepts a list of ports, so you need to pass it last.

```shell theme={null}
aptible endpoints:tcp:create \
        --app "$APP_HANDLE" \
        "$SERVICE" \
        --ports 8000 8001 8002 8003
```
