When can I use my domain address?
If the domain is connected to your server in the Control Panel and the domain supports resources of the same server (mail, WWW, FTP access) then you can use the domain address.
When configuring an FTP, SSH, and e-mail connection, you can enter the address of your domain, for example, the FTP host: my-simple-domain.com or the SMTP address: my-simple-domain.com
- You do not need to add prefixes, e.g. imap.my-simple-domain.com. Such settings do not work correctly in the default service configuration.
With only domain and hosting, and using the server’s address, you can use an encrypted / secured connection in most cases. If you change the server address to a domain address and use a domain address in the connection configuration, remember that it is necessary to have an SSL certificate to support an encrypted / secured connection.
