So. when I put in full hostname when doing HTTP SSL for lets encrypt, ie. (name.hostname.com)
the request only goes to (hostname.com) and the full hostname is not included meaning no SSL.
Please advise.

Zac, This happens when your reverse lookup (PTR record for your IP) points to hostname.com rather than name.hostname.com. Regardless, the actual certificate will be created for name.hostname.com. The PTR record is only used to fetch the hostname when you first try to create the cert. You can always overwrite that value with something else. Therefore, it should not matter what your PTR record refers to. |
