    I want to use an url different than server name to access ispconfig interface.
    i.e.: My server is server.domain.tld, and I want to user panel.domain.tld to access.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks a lot.

    Sure. It all depends on its vhost, however, there might be issues with the automatic renewal of the server LE SSL certs, where most of us rely on.

    I think proxy is also possible and might be a better choice.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your answer. When you say "depends on vhost", you mean that it is necessary to change apache .conf file? (nginx in my case, since I use it instead of apache)
    Do you know further documentation about that, for me to investigate?
    Thanks a lot.

    No. I mean we normally use ispconfig.vhost which automatically set server fqdn as its panel access. You may use conf-custom to customize it. However, as I suggested, it might be better for you to simply create proxy website to that instead of customizing it.

    I have created a proxy web site, it works like a charm :)
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Apart from this, It would be great if also you could give me a clue on how to use the conf-custom folder, to investigate about, since I have understood that it is a way of configure ispconfig to avoid losing changes on updates, and I am very interested (and have not found anything on ISPConfig Manual.
    Thanks again
