Cleaned up the Hostname priority
I wanted to make sure readers would not overlook this "Hostname priority" section, hence I removed (Cloudflare for SaaS) because it gives a false impression it's not needed to read it for a standard customer. In the end, it's very often the case that, somewhere, a customer have a hostname covered by Cloudflare for SaaS, but customer isn't aware of it.

If the provider is using a wildcard custom hostname, then the original customer's plan limits will take precedence over the provider's plan limits (Cloudflare will treat the zone as a Free zone). To apply the Enterprise limits through Cloudflare for SaaS, the original customer's zone would need to either use a [DNS-only](/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/proxied-dns-records/) record or the SaaS provider would need to use an exact hostname match.
