Time to break up with auto-generated URLs, custom domains for preview environments have arrived!

Custom domains now available on preview environments! 👏

Tired of those ugly auto-generated URLs? So are we, that's why we are excited to introduce our brand-new feature: Custom domains on preview environments. 😍

With our PaaS, you were always able to set up a custom domain for your production environment, but it was not possible for your staging or development environments (also called preview environments), meaning you were stuck with our auto-generated URLs.

Which led to many of you letting us know that we should do something about it, by voting for the feature on our Product Portal. It soon became the most-voted feature on the Product Portal so we knew it was time to listen and do something to improve this!

What does this feature mean exactly? Let's find out now!
