Security Considerations
While heroku.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Custom Subdomains
heroku.com allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.heroku.com". An address like "paypal-secure.heroku.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Heroku.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
