# Examples

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

<Note>If your app is using an [Implicit Service](/docs/how-to-guides/app-guides/define-services#implicit-service-cmd), the service name is always `cmd`.</Note>

#### Create a new Endpoint

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

#### Create a new Endpoint using a [Default Domain](/docs/core-concepts/apps/connecting-to-apps/app-endpoints/default-domain)

```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.</Warning>

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