subscription

Hello everyone,

I'm about to start building a subscription based website that will function much like 37signals offerings in terms of users paying a monthly fee to use the site.

But in my case I would like for them to be able to use their own hosted domain names and have them point to my server.

Is this possible? How do i link up the domain name with their account on my server?

Thanks a mil!
