Custom Domain mapping in cloud based application

I am creating a cloud based application in laravel/php.

I have a functionality where user can have their website at user.myapp.com and it works (with subdomain and model binding).

I now want to go one step further, and allow users to add their own custom domain names. So their website will be reachable at user-domain.com rather than (or as well as) user.myapp.com.

I want to understand how to do this. I'm using Laravel framework which is based on php and apache.

What kind of server do I need? Can I use shared hosting? What configs do I need to do in order for this to work? What DNS record the user must create to put things together?
