2.4.1.11. Site service address
General information
Important points:
- Initially, the service address is only available for the IP address from which the hosting was ordered. When accessing the service address from other IP addresses, the page "Service address is not available from your IP" will be displayed. To remove the restrictions, you need to add a phone number or pay for hosting.
- When the main domain is pointed to hosting and the service address is enabled, the site will be accessible at both addresses — the main one and the service one.
- The site can be indexed by its service address. We recommend disabling this for sites working on the main domain to avoid indexing issues.
- You cannot install an SSL certificate or configure HTTPS for the service address. The service address only works with the HTTP protocol.
- The service address does not affect the work of the domain or site.
- The service address changes only when the site or subdomain is deleted and added again. When migrating, the service address does not change.
The service address is intended for checking the work of the site on the hosting without a domain — for example, when the domain is not yet registered, does not work, or is not pointed to the hosting. The service address is automatically generated for all sites that are added in the "My sites" section and looks like 1234567.example.web.hosting-test.net. By default, the service address is disabled.
Enable
If you do not have a domain yet, add a site with any available name in the "My sites" section (we recommend adding a name that is the same as the domain you plan to use in the future).
- Open the "Site settings" section.
- In the "Service address" row, enable the "Enable service address" option and save the changes.
- Wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect.
For CMS that are linked to a domain address to work correctly, it may be necessary to replace the main domain address with a service address within the CMS itself or make certain changes to its files. For example, in WordPress, this can be done according to the instruction.
