1014 Error - CNAME Records
I am building a platform where people can publish a website built on my platform under their own domain. I run the servers, they bring their domain. The idea is I have A records on my (host) subdomain, called "sites". Then the clients can CNAME www to sites.mydomain.com. My server checks the host of who's contacting and replies appropriately the public landing page. Currently when I do this on Cloudflare, I get at 1014 error. I was able to work around it with "DCV Delegation for Custom Hostnames", but I feel like there's got to be a better way to fix this.
