Ability to change onrender.com sub-domain

Augustus D'Souza

I would like to be able to change the onrender.com subdomain after I create the web-service in case I made a mistake in naming or if I want to change the naming for logical grouping, etc..

There are security reasons for having a more obscure subdomain name. Eg. we've had hackers in the past attempt to find our base server. If you have mysite.com, and setup mysite.onrender.com, this makes it easier for hackers to guess the path. At the very least, you should explain when creating a service what the subdomain will end up being. I had to delete and resetup my web service because of this, so being able to change the subdomain would be great. It would also be nice to have the web service named 'mysite', but have the subdomain be 'mysite-456343' for example.

I'd like to change the Render subdomain for a service without having to recreate it.

Just making sure, this is for the given *.onrender.com domain that is auto assigned, right?

Mark Miyashita: that's correct.
