I am running a PHP application on Heroku and am wondering if I can have wildcard subdomains on top of the herokuapp.com hosted subdomain. For example I have my application running on mysubdomain.herokuapp.com through Heroku, however can I make it so *.mysubdomain.herokuapp.com points still to my server?
I am simply uploading my PHP application to the heroku instance by using 'git push heroku master'
unfortunately what you are trying to achieve is not feasible

Please forgive my question. I am a complete newbie at this.
I have built an API in spring boot and I have pushed it to heroku.
I have a custom domain for my website already as www.mywebsite.com
I want to provision my apis under this domain as well as api.mywebsite.com
How can I achieve this on heroku?
Any help on how to go about this would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks
I will assume that you have full access to the Namecheap account.
You have 2 options:
A. Use Heroku CLI
B. Use Heroku interface (Web application)
A) Let's go through the process with Heroku CLI.
Make sure that you have the Heroku CLI installed (macOS: brew install heroku, Ubuntu: apt install heroku, etc.)
Add your domain using the command heroku domains:add api.website.com (if you have multiple apps, don't forget at the end of the command to add --app name-of-your-heroku-app.
Heroku will generate for you a DNS target for the custom domain you added at step 2. Run heroku domains and copy the DNS target (The DNS target looks like this: whispering-willow-5678.herokudns.com)
Open your Namecheap domain settings and add a CNAME (Name: "api" and Target: the DNS target provided by Heroku).
Wait few minutes up to few hours.
B) If you want to use Heroku Interface / Webapplications.
Open your app on www.herokuapp.com
Go to "Settings" tab
Scroll down to "Domains"
Click on "Add domains"
Add your subdomain (api.website.com)
Heroku will generate for you a DNS Target
Navigate to your domain settings in Namecheap and create a new CNAME using your subdomain (e.g. api) as name and the DNS target provided by Heroku as target.
You can find all the details in Custom Domain Names for Apps Heroku Documentation
I'm trying to point my GoDaddy domain to Heroku app. I followed the steps given here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#add-a-custom-root-domain but I'm unable to access my Heroku app. Here are my DNS records settings:
Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
cname only allow you to point subdomain, so this case you should be able to see www subdomain pointed to Heroku, can you try to remove the A record.
I would recommend using DNS service like DNSimple/Cloudflare or in case you don't want to go out of Heroku you can try pointDNS

I have followed Ryan Bates railscast on subdomains (http://railscasts.com/episodes/123-subdomains-revised) and have my app working perfectly locally.
I have deployed to heroku but am unable to get my subdomains to work. I have read about custom domains, DNS and CNAME records but I don't think this is relevant because all I am trying to do is test straight on heroku what I was testing locally. So instead of accessing myapp.herokapp.com I would like to be able to access m.myapp.herokuapp.com. Currently when I try this I get the error: There is no app configured at that hostname.
Can anyone offer a solution?
UPDATE:
Whoops, I think this is a duplicate: How to create a subsubdomain for an app on heroku: (e.g. sub.myapp.herokuapp.com)
Sub-sub domains aren't possible - you need to be using your own DNS records I'm afraid.
I am deploying a RubyOnRails 3.1 app to heroku cedar stack. From within the app I would like to auto discover the host name (i.e. appname.herokuapp.com). I have multiple deployments of the same app on heroku - some for development, some for staging and some for production. It would be nice to be able to check an environment variable or make some call to find out my app host name from within the app.
does
request.host
