Consider whether or not you will require encryption though, as most Certificate Authorities will no longer issue a certificate for an IP address and require a FQDN. If you don't care if users seeing browser warnings (for URL domain not matching cert domain), users can bypass the warnings and traffic will still be encrypted (as long as you configure the server/app and install a certificate). You could also consider a self-signed cert for the IP address, however it won't be automatically trusted by browsers and will also warn until users trust your cert/root. | |
