Problems with SOME subdomains regarding SSL Certificate

Hullo!

I have a LetEncrypt Certificate enabled using the excellent tool provided within VirtualMin:

Server Configuration / Manage SSL Certificate / Let's Encrypt

It works perfectly for those domains which it lists in "Domains associated with this server":

mysite.com
www.mysite.com

But I still have issues with important subdomains of the site, including "mail":

external IP address as FQDN for VM GPL?

I have a fresh and updated install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 and want to set up VM GPL for testing and eventual use. I know the domain name I'll eventually use but not for several months yet. I think I could use the eventual domain name as FQDN but can see lotsa issues with mail and updates etc. Or I've thought about just using xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx since I have a static external IP. Anyone have experience or advice on this?

My IP got accidentally blocked

I accidentally got blocked while attempting to log into my hosting via SSH. From my IP address, my website, webmin, SSH are all inaccessible now. Using VPN, I can access Webmin panel, but I can't find where I can unblock my IP. I have searched on this forum and elsewhere but nothing worked so far.

What I attempted:

Tried: Access the folder "etc/webmin/" and right-click to open the file "miniserv.conf" to edit the IP address banned from the website. No "deny" record found in file.

Tried: Access /var/webmin/blocked and delete banned IP. The file is empty.

GPL or Paid version

Hi,

if I try first the GPL version and want to upgrade to the Paid version, will I have some differences in the software installation [installer script]

Is it easy to upgrade to the Pro version, for example do I need to run a script or so?

Will I keep all my settings I have configured or will many reset back to defaults?

Will I be able to use PayPal connected with my bank card, as my bank will charge huge cost for overseas payments?

Is it easy to revert later in time back to GPL?

Thank you.

Migrating from SQLite to MariaDB

3/10 skill level here....

I've installed owncloud and they recommend using something other than sqlite for a database. I've already heard of and used MariaDB in the past, however had someone else set it up for me. The point of this is to learn, without breaking things along the way. I know how to download and save the .sql backups for future upload. But how do I tell virtualmin and my server (Centos 7), to use MariaDB instead.

I'm great at using the functions, but lack the experience to know where to go to make changes to how the server functions.
