I want to create a subdomain app, and I think I figured it out locally the flow is like this

localhost:3000/*
just dashboard for now / sign up for subdomain

subdomain.localhost:3000/*
i.e. testing.localhost:3000, potato.localhost:3000

basically the user can make their own subdomain site on my site

but will i be able to do this on vercel.app free domain

testing.acme.vercel.app
potato.acme.vercel.app

this i cannot seem to figure out? if i can do this for free?

every of your subdomain is a cname that points to your initial domain that is served by cloudflare
i think on vercel there is a option to use a A record to point to vercel
so u can point your subdomains to your root domain that points to vercel

well i got the root site on my domain so i guess thats progress :/

short answer: you can't serve the subdomains in a free vercel domain like: testing.acme.vercel.app

you can work around this? for sure.

it will work with a custom domain tho:
