To eliminate the need for wildcard DNS, the namespace can be included in the URL path instead of the domain.\ For example, **`https://name.pages.example.io/index.html`** would become **`https://pages.example.io/name/index.html`**. We are utilising the existing `gitlab_pages["namespace_in_path"]` parameter and implement it at the instance level. We will need to update NGINX configuration to allow either namespace in path or namespace in host (wildcard) and NOT both ([Reference](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/13404#note_1948627645 "GitLab Pages without DNS wildcard")).
