Users sometimes can't tell the difference between static publishing wildcard hosts vs. one-time-use session wildcard hosts #934

I was just emailing with someone, and they seemed confused that on one hand, Sandstorm's documentation claims that subdomains are temporary one-time-use per-session, and on the other hand, some subdomains host assets for Piwik that need to not go away.

I propose that we prefix all temporary subdomains with tmp, and all public subdomains with pub, so users have more clarity about this. I could also live with a suffix, like asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf-tmp.username.sandcats.io.

I'm curious what e.g. @kentonv makes of this idea.

Well, we can't break existing public hosts. Otherwise this seems reasonable to me, but I would say not particularly high priority compared to other tasks in our queue.
