gollark: GitHub Pages works, so it should be fine.
gollark: CNAME would probably be good enough for most things. People can do HTTPS by using HTTP-based verification as normal.
gollark: Also, I checked via interweb™, and subdomains can use `document.domain` to set their "origin" to the parent domain, so you can't put anything which needs to not be accessible cross-origin-ly on the actual "madefor.cc" domain itself.
gollark: It's *technically* invalid to have a CNAME and TXT record, although some stuff won't care and some providers support a fake ALIAS thing which works like CNAME but without that constraint.
gollark: You can do that by sticking an HTML file on the server too.
