Using a domain name instead of an IP address...

I'm not sure where to place this post. If it's in the wrong place, please move it. Thanks.

So, let's say that CWPPro is accessed by visiting the IP address. Let's just say that it's 1.1.1.1 (which it isn't, of course).

Now, let's say that I have a domain name. We'll call it example.com for good measure.

What I'd like to do is I'd like to be able to use the domain name to access the CWPPro admin panel. Basically, I'd like to be able to use https://example.com:2031 as a way to get to the panel.

Yes, I'd like it to have a valid SSL.

I've done a bunch of searching. I've even tried changing the hostname and A records.

While I do pay for support, I'll try the forum for this question.

If the domain name is pointed to the base IP, then all you have to do is create an account, and select the shared IP under User Accounts.

You can force the SSL creation by going under Webserver Settings -> SSL Certificates.

Then you should be able to access https://sitename.com:2083

Note 2030 & 2031 are admin only ports.
But will respond to your IP or your hostname.

You can generate a SSL for your hostname, if it is pointing to the base IP by:
Server Settings -> Server Settings -> Change Hostname

(Not sure why they have it named that, but it's where the hostname SSL is created.)
