How can I access one of my webapps without a domain of my own. Something like:
Background:
" The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel"

We supply each account with a subdomain like username.webfactional.com. You can create subdomains of it if you need additional URLs, for example, dev.username.webfactional.com. If you do not have a webfactional.com subdomain on your account, please open a support ticket so we can add it back for you. Using HTTPS with this subdomain should be no problem. You will get a name mismatch error in most browsers, because our shared certificate is for webfaction.com and not webfactional.com, but that should be the only issue. answered 15 Sep '11, 09:58 maryh Just a question! ...But could we not just have an <username>.webfaction.com domain. As far as I can see you're already using wildcard / shared ssl for *.webfaction.com. So this would enable using https without that the browser complain about wrong hostname.... or its not possible due that the users are distributed over different servers and ip adresses? bye Marcel

No, we do not provide "username.webfaction.com" domains. If you need SSL without browser warnings, then you'll need a dedicated IP and you'll need to purchase a certificate for your domain.

@seanf so there is no way use the this subdomain workaround because the ssl is for webfaction.com and the subdomains are on webfactional.com Thanks for the answer.

That's correct.

well then... hypothetical webfaction could buy a *.webfactional.com wildcard ssl and it would work, right? or are there any technical limitation? I'm just interested :-)

As a follow-up: as this is for my application and not for end users, I am trying to accept the name difference as long as webfaction.com is the certificate owner, see the question on stackoverflow
