Without the requirement for a public IP, the Virtualizor VPS Domain Forwarding feature enables VPSes to host HTTP/HTTPS services or any other TCP services on a private IP. All that is needed for a VPS to host an HTTP/HTTPS service is a working domain name that has been registered with any Domain Registrar. This domain name must point to one of the source IP addresses that the Virtualizor administrator has made available for VPS Domain Forwarding.
