Currently, creating a GitLab pages project would require a domain of the form `name.example.io` or `name.pages.example.io`. This setup forces admins to setup wildcard DNS records and SSL/TLS certificates (i.e. `*.pages.example.io`). Here requirement is to enable gitlab pages without the need of DNS wildcard.
