# Customer domains with SSL for SaaS

SaaS customers expect to use their own domains (for example, `app.theirdomain.com`) instead of a subdomain on your platform. Cloudflare SSL for SaaS provisions and renews SSL certificates automatically for every custom hostname, with no manual steps or customer action required.

## Solutions

### Cloudflare for Platforms

Extend Cloudflare's network and services to your customers. [Learn more about Cloudflare for Platforms](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/).

* **Custom domains** \- Customers bring their own domains and have them route to your platform with per-tenant configuration

### SSL for SaaS

Provision and manage SSL certificates for custom customer domains. [Learn more about SSL for SaaS](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/).

* **Automatic SSL** \- Certificates provisioned and renewed automatically for every customer domain with no manual steps
* **No customer action required** \- Cloudflare can complete domain validation without requiring action from the customer
* **Scale** \- Support thousands of custom hostnames per domain without additional per-hostname infrastructure
