Which SaaS Subdomains to block


I'm working on a SaaS (Software as a Service) web app and I'm using subdomains for separate accounts.

Which subdomains should I prevent the user from using.

The ones I currently have are... admin, administrator, blog, support and help. I remember seeing a question on Quora about it but I can't find it any more.


Solution

  • Thanks for your suggestions. I've made a Rubygem for blocking a load of subdomains which can be found here - https://github.com/deanperry/saas_deny_subdomains

    Just add deny_subdomains :subdomain (:subdomain) being the field, and it will block/deny a massive list of subdomains.
