The Rise of No-Code SaaS and Domain Challenges

No-code platforms like Webflow, Bubble, and others let anyone build and launch apps without coding. But even as these tools simplify app development, custom domain support is often restricted. For many creators, connecting a professional domain is either limited or locked behind expensive paid plans.

Custom domains are critical for brand credibility, user trust, and a polished app experience. Without them, your no-code app can feel like a hobby project rather than a professional SaaS product.

Common Custom Domain Limitations in No-Code Platforms

Here are some challenges creators face with no-code SaaS platforms:

1. Paid Plan Requirement

Many platforms allow custom domains only on paid tiers, which can be costly for indie creators or small teams. Users on free plans may be forced to display a platform subdomain, like myapp.webflow.io, limiting brand control.

2. Single Domain Limitation

Some platforms only let you connect one domain per account, even if you want multiple apps or multiple client instances. This can make scaling or running multiple projects unnecessarily complicated.

3. Limited SSL and Automation

Even when a domain is connected, SSL certificates are sometimes not automated or only available on higher-tier plans. This adds friction and risk for users who want a secure, professional app.
