Clearalias.com is another service that provides SSL multi-tenant apps and SaaSes that want to provide secured custom domains for their customers.

There's only one step required by the customer which is to point their DNS to Clearalias, no API calls or extra set up by the app or the customers.

Ohai! Yeah, you can do the same thing with Fly (which is what most of our customers do - just point DNS at Fly). I cannot stress enough how nice it is being able to build on top of Let's Encrypt! bows

The API is mainly for people who'd like to automate the process, because they want to provide custom domains for their customers (so more for B2B use-cases) ;)

The grandparent post means that the customer hostnsmes also work without any API calls if configured properly.
