Most of the existing PaaS out there let you use your custom domain with SSL, but lots of DNS and domain providers still do not allow CNAME or ALIAS records on the naked domain, which makes it hard –or impossible– to install an SSL certificate and redirect all the traffic on your naked domain without having a custom IP. NakedSSL came to fix that.
