How to change the Hostname URL

[Jay Versluis]

My servers have an "ugly" URL out of the box courtesy of my providers (both Strato and 1&1). It's something like h123456.stratoserver.net or s123456.online-homeserver.info.

I've changed my host name to my own domain (let's say mydomain.com) and the IP resolves correctly. I can access the login screen via mydomain.com:8443 but the URL still changes to the "ugly" one I don't like.

How can I change this permanently?

Hi Jay,
Did you follow the instructions in http://kb.parallels.com/en/1793 and which Plesk version do you use?
The own hostname works fine for me on a Strato server from previous versions < 9 until my current 10.3.1.
Also remember to use https://hostname.com:8443

Hi Knarf,

works like a charme - I had to restart psa to make it stick, which is why I was confused when the change didn't take. Thanks!

Jay, good to hear that and thanks for the feedback!
