Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in the testing phase of a site migration from a dedicated host provider to DiscountASP. My site has some secure log-in sections, so I am using SSL. I have already purchased a new SSL certificate for my DiscountASP site, and I would like to test it to make sure it at least works before I transfer my domain to DASP. My questions are as follows: 1) Should I be able to test this on the alternate URL <domain>.<server>.discountasp.net, knowing that I should receive an invalid domain error? 2) Is connecting to the alternate URL with https allowed, or is 443 blocked on that side? I have installed the certificate, but am unable to connect to my site at all using https. I attempted the connection both before and after I installed the certificate. Thanks again for your consideration in helping me make sure my site will be fully functional during this transition period. -Matthew Pence Clay County Utility Authority
You cannot connect to the alt URL over HTTPs. You can, however, access your site using the IP address over HTTPS.
