CNAME Whitelabeling for Hosted Hudu

Core Web App

With self hosted Hudu, it can be setup on any domain name we'd like.. I would love if we could use a whitelabeled version of Hosted Hudu on our own domain like documentation.MYDOMAIN.COM instead of the huducloud domain.

    I think this is an important feature that would make Hudu even more valuable. It gives customers the chance to set their own domain. @Hudu, please prioritize this feature.

    I’m genuinely curious why IT Glue has supported this for a while, but Hudu doesn’t. It might just be a matter of implementation.

    The core issue is how the SSL certificate is requested. Even if a user sets up a CNAME to point to their Hudu instance, the SSL certificate is still generated for the original instance-name.huducloud.com, not the custom domain. That leads to a certificate mismatch and a browser error. Fixing this simply means generating the SSL certificate for the custom domain instead — that’s it.

    Many customers choose the self-hosted version of Hudu solely because white labeling isn’t supported in the cloud version. But imagine if it was — this could lead to more revenue, wider adoption, and personally, I’d switch back to hosted in a heartbeat if this feature were available.

    Every day this becomes more of an issue for me. I really need to be able to setup a CNAME record here so my branding is consistent across the board.

    Absolutely, I am willing to sponsor some of the cost to prioritize this one. I would host myself but do not have the time to Monitor, Manage, and Update an instance while focused on taking care of my clients. This white labeling will allow for easy migration to self hosted at a future date with no changes visible on the user. While this can not be done with Cloudflare it can be done by creating a CNAME record for documentation.MYDOMAIN.COM to point to mydomain.huducloud.com but @Hudu would need to regenerate the certificate as documentation.MYDOMAIN.COM.

    Thats it.. Super Easy!
