Implementing custom domains is required for a few SaaS Apps when you want to provide a complete white-label feature. There are multiple ways to do this. One of the biggest issues with implementing custom domains is generating the SSL (https) certificates dynamically.

For anyone looking for a profitable Micro SaaS Idea in 2021: 1/ The best profitable idea doesn't need to be always a new one that no one ever implemented. 2/ It's okay to pick an existing profitable idea and improve on it and in fact this method has higher chances of success.
