Disable starter domain -- App Platform
Ignacio González
We should be able to disable the starter domain in App Platform or create a 301 redirect to a custom domain.
With this not being an option static sites are always duplicated, which is a terrible SEO practice.
At the very least it would be nice being able to set a robots.txt file in the starter domain to prevent search engines from indexing it.

This would also help increase the setup from a security perspective.
Imagine your custom domain is registered with Cloudflare and proxied through Cloudflare.
Cloudflare's Zero Trust network allows to configure policies via "Access" and manage who can access the service.
However, if the generated starter domain always exists and is accessible, one can bypass the policies if the starter address is known.

Why is this still a thing that's not resolved? It's not secure to leave starter domain open.

Agree, this is almost a deal breaker for me as having this URL just hang out there is pretty annoying.

We also need it to secure our apps with Cloudflare Access.
Handling the Starter domain is painful.

No reason why this doesnt exist. Its not secure to have multiple domains leading up to the site.

For applications with several domains, this is also bad, since the cname record cannot be customized, and if it is necessary to change the dns pointer to another environment, it would generate a rather large work in updating DNS of each of the domains, mainly if the domain is pointed to a manager or other external server.
