This subdomain consists your username and root domain name of SAAS module. But the user/tenant want to map his real domain with the subdomain as it is an efficient way to access website from customer’s end.

For example: A SAAS Module is running on domain “buynoir.co”. A new tenant came and registers with a username myshop, hence the store name will be “myshop.buynoir.co “. But what he wants is the mapping of his domain name “bigbazar.com” to his subdomain of SAAS module “myshop.buynoir.co “
