looking for vanity-url service
Not so long ago I came across a service that offers SaaS companies to manage vanity-urls. I.e. allow their customers to add cname that points to the company's service. This service manages the certificates and proxies the request to the SaaS.
I don't remember if I saw it here or in PH or maybe even somewhere else, but I can't find it now.
Anybody happens to know such service?
Hey Dan, we built https://www.qloaked.com to solve just this pain. We use DNS so the setup is painless and it runs via your own domain e.g. secure.danbars.com so your customers won't know Qloaked is involved. We have global network of K8s clusters hosted on GCP and instant SSL provisioning. Prices are low-competitive too :)
Yep you'll want to check out https://fly.io. It acts as proxy for our custom domains feature for one of my SaaS apps, and is completely automated after the initial setup.
Nice!
Thanks
How's their uptime?
I'm not sure you are looking for that but we on Productroad allow a user to set vanity URLs for feedback board and for a changelog. We will generate SSL cert for your company via LetsEncrypt and point your domain to your account, all you need is to set cname.
Thanks. I'm looking for a way to do the same thing that you do ;-)

just simple google that im sure you did also , or it something else you are looking for ?
Thanks, I wasn't looking to brand my own links. I was looking to provide my customers a way to brand their links that point to my service.
Found this one eventually: https://autossl.co/
Cloudflare also have their service for that, but it's quite expensive
Thanks for sharing, let me know if this is what you go with. I face a similar problem for a future feature on our roadmap as well.
Also found https://www.qloaked.com/ which is really reasonably priced
awesome, thanks!
Cloudflare offers you that but only if you pay 1000$+ a month as far as I know.

Wat? Pay me 500/m and I’ll set you one up on AWS
Yes, you can setup that easily even for 10$/month.
I need to take it from cloudflare because I need custom domains for my clients on cloudflare workers. I don't want a service before the workers (handling multiple million requests/month on low latency)
Yes, I also need it on cloudflare workers.
Maybe we can build some opensource cloudflare-vanity that will do this and will be runnable on the worker itself?
It would be easy if the customer just runs a proxy worker. That would just be a few lines of code.
But then they need to manually add the worker and map it correctly!
For me it's not an top priority issue, I'll work on that later on
It would be easy, but not for the customer ;-)
Not that high priority for me niether.
If I'll start something I'll notify here
