Perhaps using a custom domain would be best if you might need that.
I just use a subdomain of a domain I own
What about subdomains? Does it support them?
Any plans to support custom domains?
I wish they'd open this up to use a subdomain, rather than the main domain.
It doesn't work with subdomains?
Would subdomains not achieve this though?
Looks like they are providing subdomains and sub-subdomains, not domains.
Just use subdomains such as *.dev.example.com, *.test.example.com, *.prod.example.com, etc., no?
Use a new (sub)domain. Your main domain can then simply redirect to whatever subdomain you wish.
