: How to enable customers to use their own domain for sites hosted by me I am thinking of running a self-site builder. But was wondering how would I allow customers to use their own domains
I am thinking of running a self-site builder. But was wondering how would I allow customers to use their own domains that they already own.
Is that even possible?
Let's say my site is bestsitebuildingwebsite.com and each customer has urls like this
bestsitebuildingwebsite.com/frances www.bestsitebuildingwebsite.com/eden bestsitebuildingwebsite.com/john
And a customer has a domain called widgets.com
Is it actually possible domain widgets.com to go to my site somehow and have HASHES on the URL still work (my site makes use of hashes for AJAX queries). And their site still have good SEO with Google?
Thanks
Scott

It is possible, but your customers would have to update their DNS records.
This is how it works -
Point widgets.com to your IP Address
Modify your code to infer the customer from the host name
AJAX code should post to widgets.com and not to bestsitebuildingwebsite.com. Since they are both the same servers, it shouldn't be a problem.
If you set any cookies on bestsitebuildingwebsite.com, they will not be available on widgets.com. You will need some kind of federated authentication to solve that problem.
