Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I personally run a lot of services on the on machine using docker. Having this many services of even multiple domains running can cause things to look a little more chaotic then I'd like.

Describe the solution you'd like
I wish there was a sort of folder structure to put your proxy/redirection hosts into. So for example, when you click on proxy hosts, instead of getting a long list of your 50 redirection hosts, you can add categories which you can expand.


begin example
example.com (or any name of your chosing)
  • service-a.host1.example.com
  • service-b.host2.example.com
  • service-c.host3.example.com
example.net (or any name of your chosing)
  • service-d.host4.example.net
  • service-e.host5.example.net
  • service-f.host6.example.net
example.org (or any name of your chosing)
  • service-g.host7.example.org
  • service-h.host8.example.org
  • service-k.host9.example.org

end example

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered running multiple NPM containers one for each domain, so that the primary proxies to the secondary, which proxies to the resource, but this is clunky, consumes more resources. Makes me have to open more windows, log in at different things etc etc

Just not ideal when a feature request would do the trick.

I saw this issue with a similar request, which was completed, but I couldn't find a resourse online on how I could create the effect I'm looking for.

Additional context
This is an example I spun up to give a rough idea of what it'd look like:
