📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether it's advisable to use a company's subdomain, which already has an SSL certificate, for setting up Anywhere Access, with the original poster seeking advice. A respondent confirms that using the subdomain is acceptable as long as they control the DNS. Later, another user notes that hosting two websites on the same subdomain may share bandwidth, potentially limiting user access. Overall, the sentiment is practical and technical, with consensus that using the subdomain is acceptable if DNS control is managed, but awareness of bandwidth limitations is important.

Is it a bad idea to use the subdomain of the company's public website as the domain name when setting up Anywhere Access? Or should I be buying a brand new domain? We have an SSL certificate for the subdomain so I wanted to use that ideally.

I'm using the wizard in Windows Server Essentials 2016.

Many thanks for any help!

As long as you control the DNS for the sub domain there isn't really much concern.

two web sites would share the same bandwidth... in effect limits how many people can be on the sites [at the same time]
