Introducing SSL for SaaS
SSL for SaaS is a solution that allows SaaS companies to easily extend the benefits of Cloudflare to their customers' custom domains. This enables customers to host applications on their own domain while enjoying improved SEO and discoverability. The process involves setting up a CNAME record, making an API call, and allowing Cloudflare to handle the rest, including provisioning the hostname, acquiring SSL certificates, and protecting against DDoS attacks. SSL for SaaS offers all of Cloudflare's benefits, such as CDN, WAF, HTTP/2, load balancing, and more. This solution is suitable for various types of SaaS applications that allow customers to bring their own domain, including content management solutions, eCommerce platforms, web portals, and platform-as-a-service companies.
