Separate websites from domains

A company can have a website at a location other than its domain name and at the same time, it can have several domains that do not contain websites.
Currently the only option to provide a domain name to the system to follow and monitor is by providing "website" address.
Separating the 2 asset types is requested so multiple domains of the same company would be monitored and also different websites, which live at domains other than the company's domains.

Yes, websites are applications, domains are domains. Website monitoring should have nothing to do with domain records, and should show actual WEBSITE status instead of domain details which do not matter.
Domains are pointers/shortcuts, they do not hold content nor do they possess SSL certificates.
Websites hold content, but are not domains themselves. A subdomain of a website is its own thing, but in Hudu a subdomain is just a child of the parent domain and reported as such. There is no point today in putting a subdomain into the system, it is a duplicate of the parent.
Related note: Where are my CNAME records? And how can I also monitor e-mail server configurations like DKIM/DMARC/ARC?

Pitiful, I just noticed how old this request is with ZERO ATTENTION FROM HUDU!!! Other softwares use this same "forum" style feature request system, I don't like it because it turns into a black hole much like this thread... You cannot simply have an idea system like this that is not monitored and managed, Amir should have a reply confirming or denying his request with an ETA or explanation for denial.

Another good reason for this is the fact that if I have many domain names that point to the same website, after adding them all to Hudu, the expiration mechanism will send many duplicate expirations that relate to the website, not the domains...
