Hi, I’m working on a web hosting platform and I’m wondering if it’s possible or easy to respond to or direct thousands of different domain names to a single Web Service. I want to provide a simple way for users to direct their custom domains to a page generated by our service.
So, for example, we might have a user’s page served at a subdomain kow.areallycooldstartupname.com, using a wildcard resolution, but we’d also like to give the option for a user to map their custom domain to that subdomain.
Is this possible on Render? I’m thinking that this is probably just a DNS issue and it will be simple but I’m not sure.
You can use the Render API in your app to add/remove domains to your account to get the automatic SSL certificate generation. Your app would also need to know how to route by domain.
Awesome Possum, Thank you. This makes sense to me. Custom domains would probably be a paid feature so it makes sense that there is a cost associated with it.
