Is it possible to let users have custom domain point to my app with https auto enable for them.

Posted on September 6, 2018

If I want to launch Ruby on Rails website where users can have their dedicated page 1.) as sub domain i.e. user-subdomain-name.my-service.com 2.) as custom domain i.e. user-custom-domain-name.com

and also enabled https for both subdomain and custom domain.

Is it possible to do this automatically? Let say once my app get this information from user I run some script to make this happen.
