Customers can use custom URLs to access their Vuture websites, for example replacing 860.example.vuturevx.com with mymicrosite.com
Customer steps for a site running over HTTPS
1. Register your domain
You can do this through your preferred domain registrar or contact Vuture if you would like us to register the domain for you (this is chargeable).
2. Obtain a valid SSL certificate (not self-signed) for this domain.
Vuture can help you purchase this or purchase it on your behalf. If you purchase an SSL certificate yourself please provide it to Vuture support.
3. Vuture will provide you with the IP address for your site when we receive your SSL certificate
Sites running over HTTPS require a new IP address and as IP addresses are in short supply we need the SSL certificate in order to obtain a new IP address. Please send this to Vuture support.
4. Point the domain's A record at the IP address of the site
Using your registrars DNS tools point the A record of the domain at the IP address from step 3. If Vuture registered the domain we will do this for you.
Once you have done this please contact Vuture support to complete the process.
Vuture steps for a site running over HTTPS
1. Obtain a new IP address and provide it to the customer
Contact Rackspace or Azure to obtain a new IP address for this domain. You will need to provide the SSL certificate. Rackspace will provision a new IP address and create PAT rules forwarding HTTPS and HTTP traffic from the new IP address to a custom port on the internal IP address of the Vuture server. Make a note of the custom ports for step 2.
2. Add the new domain as a binding to the IIS website
Connect to the client's Vuture application server and find the site to be updated in IIS. Add the new domain as a binding for both HTTP and HTTPS using the custom ports set up in step 1.
3. Update the database to reflect the new domain
Update tblSite.StagingURL and tblSite.LiveURL with the new domain (without the http://). Tick tblSite.IsSecure if the site as the site is running over HTTPS. This article describes the process
